(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ حَبْلَهُ ، فَيَذْهَبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ ، فَيَحْتَطِبَ ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَ بِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ، فَيَبِيعَهُ ، فَيَأْكُلَ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ، وَلَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ تُرَابًا ، فَيَجْعَلَهُ فِي فِيهِ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ فِي فِيهِ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, it is much better that one of you takes a rope, goes to the mountain, cuts wood, carries it on his back, sells it, and eats from what he earns or gives it in charity, rather than going to someone and begging from him. And it is better for a person to take dust and put it in his mouth than to put a morsel of the unlawful in his mouth.
