"مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُليَا خير مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفلَى، وَلا يَفْتَحُ أَحَدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ".  

ابن سعد عن أبي سعيد

ahmad:15326Wakīʿ > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father > Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those who are under your responsibility. Whoever asks Allah for sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and whoever seeks refuge with Allah, Allah will grant him refuge."  

أحمد:١٥٣٢٦حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and one should start with those who are dependent on him. The best charity is that which is given while one is self-sufficient, and whoever seeks chastity, Allah will assist him with it, and whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient."  

الطبراني:٣٠٩١حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ ﷻ»
