«والذي نفسي بيده لأن يأخذ أحدكم حبله فيحتطب على ظهره خير له من أن يأتي رجلا فيسأله أعطاه أو منعه»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! For one of you to take his rope and carry firewood on his back is better for him than to go to a man and ask him, whether he gives him or refuses him."
