On refraining from begging, and those who said: the upper hand is better than the lower hand
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10995 — On refraining from begging, and those
١٠٩٩٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا حفص عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه عن حكيم بن (حزام) (١) قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "من يستغن يغنه اللَّه، ومن يستعفف يعفه اللَّه، واليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى" (٢).
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah Almighty makes him self-sufficient; whoever seeks to remain chaste (from asking), Allah Almighty keeps him chaste; and the upper hand (the giving hand) is better than the lower hand (the receiving hand)."
