عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ : فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا ، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا ، وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَزَادَ : " وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَاسْتَعِفَّ عَنِ السُّؤَالِ وَعَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ ، فَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا - أَوْ قَالَ : خَيْرًا - فَلْيُرَ عَلَيْكَ ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ ، وَارْضَخْ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ ، وَلَا تُلَامُ عَلَى الْعَفَافِ " . وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hands are of three kinds: the Hand of Allah Almighty is the uppermost, the hand of the giver is the one next to it, and the hand of the one who begs is the lowest."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it. They added the words: "The hand of the one who begs will remain the lowest until the Day of Resurrection. Refrain from begging and from asking as much as you can. If you are given something (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) if you are given good, its effect should be seen on you. Begin spending on those under your care, give away what is surplus, and no one is blamed for refraining from begging." The narrators of this narration have been declared trustworthy.
