(57) – Contentment and Self-esteem and avoidance of unnecessary begging of People
Riyad as-Saliheen 526
Hakim bin Hizam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The upper hand is better than the lower one; and begin (charity) with those who are under your care; and the best charity is (the one which is given) out of surplus; and he who wishes to abstain from begging will be protected by Allah; and he who seeks self- sufficiency will be made self-sufficient by Allah."
[Al-Bukhari].
وعن حكيم بن حزام رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال: "اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى، وابدأ بمن تعول، وخير الصدقة عن ظهر غنى ومن يستعفف يعفه الله، ومن يستغن يغنه الله” ((متفق عليه)). ((وهذا لفظ البخاري، ولفظ مسلم أخصر)).
