حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ هُوَ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَدَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ , يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ , إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَبْذُلِ الْفَضْلَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ، وَإِنْ تُمْسِكْهُ شَرٌّ لَكَ ، وَلَا تُلَامُ عَلَى كَفَافٍ ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَشَدَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُكْنَى : أَبَا عَمَّارٍ .
´Abu Umamah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:` "O son of Adam! If you give your surplus it is better for you, and if you keep it, it is worse for you, but there is no harm with what is sufficient. And begin(the giving) with your dependents, and the upper hand (giving) is better than the lower hand (receiving)."
