وَاللهِ
وَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيَحْتَطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهُ فَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ وَيَتَصَدَّقَ مِنْهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَجُلًا فَيَسْأَلَهُ يُؤْتِيهِ أَوْ يَمْنَعُهُ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ،
Translation
✧ By God, if one of you goes out in the morning and gathers firewood on his back, then sells it and becomes self-sufficient with it and gives charity from it, that is better for him than coming to a man and asking him, who may give him or refuse him. That is because the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin with those you support.
