1649. Mālik bin Naḍlah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There are three types of hands: The Hand of Allāh is the highest, and the hand of the giver is below it, and the hand of the one who asks is the lowest. So give blessings (charity), and do not be too weak to overcome yourself." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1649 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّعْرَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ: فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا، وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى، فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ، وَلَا تَعْجِزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ "
