[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "It is better for one of you to wake up in the morning and gather firewood on his back, give it in charity, and become self-sufficient rather than asking someone for help. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Start with those who depend on you."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيَحْتَطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ عَنِ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ مَنَعَهُ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
