2590. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if one of you were to take a rope and gather firewood on his back, that would be better for him than coming to a man to whom Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, has given of His bounty and asking him (for help), which he may or may not give." (Sahîh)
2589 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ حَبْلَهُ فَيَحْتَطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَيَسْأَلَهُ أَعْطَاهُ، أَوْ مَنَعَهُ»

"His bounty or benevolence": In the Qur'an and the Hadîth, Fadl or bounty or beneficence generally connote worldly subsistence. And the Rahmah or the mercy denotes recompense in the Hereafter. One could ask from man only things of the world.
