( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَطَّارُ صَاحِبُ الْحَكِيمِيِّ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثَنَا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ: الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْيَدُ الْمُنْفِقَةُ، وَالْيَدُ السُّفْلَى الْيَدُ السَّائِلَةُ.
