On refraining from begging, and those who said: the upper hand is better than the lower hand
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11001 — On refraining from begging, and those
١١٠٠١ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى وخير (الصدقة) (١) ما أبقت غنى وابدأ بمن تعول" (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The best charity is that which leaves (the giver) self-sufficient, and begin with those whom you support."
