Hadith 9421

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَفْتَحُ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ ، إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ ، يَأْخُذُ الرَّجُلُ حَبْلَهُ فَيَعْمِدُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ ، فَيَحْتَطِبُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَأْكُلُ بِهِ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ مُعْطًى أَوْ مَمْنُوعًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever opens the door of "asking" upon himself, Allah opens the door of poverty and need upon him. A person should take a rope, go to the mountain, cut wood, carry it on his back, sell it, and eat from what he earns or give it in charity; this is much better than going to people and asking from them, whether they give him something or not, it is up to them.
