Musnad of Hakim ibn Hizam from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Musnad Ahmad 15326 — Musnad of Hakim ibn Hizam from the Prophet
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ ، مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْف يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakeem bin Hizam that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and you should begin charity and almsgiving with those who are under your responsibility. And whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever seeks to remain chaste, Allah will protect him.
