Riyad as-Salihin 539
Encouraging Livelihood by (working with) Hands and Abstaining from Begging
- وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لأن يحتطب أحدكم حزمة على ظهره، خير له من أن يسأل أحداً فيعطيه أو يمنعه" ((متفق عليه)).
Translation
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "It is better for anyone of you to carry a bundle of wood on his back and sell it than to beg of someone whether he gives him or refuses." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
