ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ الْيَدَ السُّفْلَى هِيَ السَّائِلَةُ دُونَ الْآخِذَةِ بِغَيْرِ سُؤَالٍ

The Prophet ﷺ said: Hands are of three types: Allah's hand is the upper one; the bestower's hand is the one near it; the beggar's hand is the lower one. So bestow what is surplus, and do not submit yourself to the demand of your soul.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَيْدِي ثَلاَثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ وَلاَ تَعْجِزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِيَنَّ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are three hands of Allah: the upper hand of Allah, the giving hand that follows it, and the lower hand of the one who seeks help, until the Day of Resurrection. So, refrain from asking as much as you can."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ يَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَاسْتَعِفَّ عَنِ السُّؤَالِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three types of hands: the hand of Allah, which is the highest; the hand of the giver, which follows it; and the hand of the beggar, which is lower. So give in charity and do not be unable to provide for yourself." This narration is reported by Ibrahim al-Hajari from Abu al-Ahwas from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud in a raised and stopped chain.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تُعْجِزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ وَرَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مَرْفُوعًا وَمَوْقُوفًا  

"الأيدى ثَلاثةٌ فَيَدُ الله العليا، وَيدُ المعطي التي تَليهَا، وَيَدُ السَّائِل السُّفلَى، فاعْطِ الفضلَ، ولا تَعْجزْ عن نفسك".
