1429. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while on the pulpit mentioned about Aṣ-Ṣadaqa (charity), and to abstain from asking others for some financial help, and begging others, and said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is that of the giver and the lower (hand) is that of the beggar."

1429 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ، وَذَكَرَ الصَّدَقَةَ، وَالتَّعَفُّفَ، وَالمَسْأَلَةَ: " اليَدُ العُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ اليَدِ السُّفْلَى، فَاليَدُ العُلْيَا: هِيَ المُنْفِقَةُ، وَالسُّفْلَى: هِيَ السَّائِلَةُ "
