Bayhaqi 7884 — Explanation of the upper hand and the lower hand

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَأَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّاذْيَاخِيُّ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ، وَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَخَلَّفُونِي فِي رِحَالِهِمْ، ثُمَّ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ ثُمَّ، قَالَ: " هَلْ بَقِيَ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ غُلَامٌ مِنَّا خَلَّفْنَاهُ فِي رِحَالِنَا فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَبْعَثُونِي إِلَيْهِ فَأَتَوْنِي، فَقَالُوا: أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: " مَا أَغْنَاكَ اللهُ لَا تَسْأَلِ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّ يَدَ الْمُنْطِيَةِ الْعُلْيَا وَإِنَّ الْيَدَ السُّفْلَى هِيَ الْمَنْطَاةُ وَإِنَّ مَالَ اللهِ لَمَسْئُولٌ وَمَنْطِيٌّ " قَالَ: فَكَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلُغَتِنَا.
Urwah bin Muhammad bin Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: My father told me, on the authority of my grandfather, that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) among some people of (Banu) Sa'd bin Bakr, and I was the youngest of the group, so they left me behind with their belongings and tents. Then they came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and had their needs fulfilled. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is anyone of you still remaining?" They said: O Messenger of Allah, there is a boy from among us whom we left behind at our tents. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to send me to him (peace and blessings be upon him). They came to me and said: "Answer the call of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me he said: "Allah has made you self-sufficient, so do not ask people for anything." And he said: "The giving hand is the upper one, and the lower hand is the one that receives; and indeed, concerning Allah's wealth, it will be asked about and it will be given." He says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to me in our own dialect.
