حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ وَصَفْوَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ الْمَعْنَى عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنِ ارْفَعْ إِلَيَّ حَاجَتَكَ. قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: ابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى. وَإِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا الْمُعْطِيَةَ وَالسُّفْلَى السَّائِلَةَ، وَإِنِّي غَيْرُ سَائِلِكَ شَيْئًا، وَلَا رَادٍّ رِزْقًا سَاقَهُ اللهُ إِلَيَّ مِنْكَ

✧ Abd al-Aziz b. Marwan wrote to Abdullah b. Umar: Send me your need. He said: Abdullah wrote to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Begin with those you support, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. I think the upper hand is the giving one and the lower is the asking one. I am not asking you for anything, nor am I rejecting any provision that Allah sends to me from you.
