حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ، وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ وَمِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: وَمِنِّي. قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: قُلْتُ: لَا تَكُونُ يَدِي تَحْتَ يَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَبَدًا

✧ The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Let each of you begin with those he supports. The best charity is that which is given out of surplus wealth. Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whoever seeks abstinence, Allah will make him abstinent. I said: 'And from you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'And from me.' Hakim said: I said: 'My hand will never be under the hand of a man from the Arabs.'
