Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 95 — The recommendation not to seek help

قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ هُوَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ : " وَلَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَكِلُ صَدَقَتَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ نَفْسِهِ ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ السَّائِلِ ، وَلَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَكِلُ وُضُوءَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ نَفْسِهِ ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ وُضُوءَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ حِينَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrust the distribution of his charity and alms to anyone other than himself; rather, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would personally place it in the hand of the one asking. Nor did I ever see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) hand over the arrangement of his ablution to anyone other than himself; rather, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) woke at night (for the Tahajjud prayer), he would himself prepare his water for ablution and other necessities."
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' narrated this hadith. Mu'awiyah bin Salih in its chain is a trustworthy (thiqah) narrator, and this narration indicates the perfect humility of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) personal attention and care in matters of charity and worship.
