1229 - وأنا مُنِيرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، نا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ، وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and each of you should begin (charity and alms) with those whom he supports, and the best charity is that after which a person remains self-sufficient. Whoever seeks to be saved, Allah will save him, and whoever seeks to be independent, Allah will make him independent."
