Hadith 8247

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ " .
And the Prophet Muhammad (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.
