Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, while he was on the pulpit, that he mentioned charity, not spreading one's hand before anyone, and asking from others. He said: The upper hand is better than the lower hand; the upper hand is the one that gives, and the lower hand is the one that asks.
