[Machine] Narrated by Prophet Mohammed (PBUH): "The upper hand is better than the lower hand and start with those who depend on you." Zaid asked Abu Hurairah, "Who are those who depend on you, O Abu Hurairah?" Abu Hurairah replied, "Your wife says, 'Spend on me or divorce me,' and your servant says, 'Feed me and employ me,' and your son says, 'To whom will you leave me?'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَسُئِلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مَنْ تَعُولُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ قَالَ امْرَأَتُكَ تَقُولُ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي وَعَبْدُكَ يَقُولُ «أَطْعِمْنِي وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي» وَابْنُكَ يَقُولُ «إِلَى مَنْ تَذَرُنِي»
