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)."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that if Allah has blessed you with wealth and riches, then take care of your own needs and those of your family and dependents from it, and distribute the surplus wealth among the needy and deserving. This is because hoarding leads to undesirable consequences both in this world and the Hereafter. Hoarding gives rise to many evils in society, and the outcome of miserliness in the Hereafter is absolutely clear.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
It is better for a person that whatever wealth he earns or receives through any means, he should keep from it only as much as is needed for himself and those under his care, and spend the rest in good deeds or on the servants of Allah. He should strive to be among those who give, not those who take.
