من مسند الزبير بن العوام
From the Musnad of al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam
مِنْ مُسْنَدِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ
From the Musnad of al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam
Musnad Abi Ya'la 675 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That one of you
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « لَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَحْبُلَهُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَ الْجَبَلَ فَيَأْتِيَ بِحُزْمَةٍ مِنْ حَطَبٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ، فَيَبِيعَهَا ، فَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِثَمَنِهَا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ، أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ مَنَعُوهُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That one of you should take his ropes, then head for the mountain and bring back a bundle of firewood loaded on his back, then sell it and through its price (meet his need and) become independent of people, is far better for him than stretching out his hand in begging before people, whether they then give him something or refuse him."
