Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 23531a
"مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُليَا خير مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفلَى، وَلا يَفْتَحُ أَحَدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ".

"Whoever seeks independence, Allah will make him independent; whoever seeks chastity, Allah will make him chaste. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. No one opens the door of begging except that Allah opens for him a door of poverty."
