" عَنْ عُرْوةَ بن مُحَمّد بن عَطِيّة السَّعدىِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ في وَفْدٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ كَانَ فيمَا ذكَرُوا أَنْ سَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ لَهُم: هَلْ قَدمَ مَعَكُم أحَدٌ غَيْركُم؟ قَالُوا: نَعَم، فَقُلْنَا مَنْ خَلَفْنَاهُ في رِحَالِنَا قَالَ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَت عَلَيْه وَهَم عِنْدَهُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنى فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْيَدَ الْمُنْطِتَةَ هى الْعُلْيَا وَإنَّ السَّائلَة هِىَ السُّفلى، فَمَا اسْتَغْنَيْتَ فَلَا تَسْأَل، وَإِنّ مَالَ الله مَسئولٌ ومنْطِىٌ".

"'Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Atiyyah al-Sa'di narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a delegation from his people. When they entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among what they mentioned was that they asked him. He said to them, 'Has anyone come with you other than yourselves?' They said, 'Yes, we left someone behind in our baggage.' They sent for him, and when he entered upon him while they were with him, he faced me and said, 'Indeed, the upper hand is the giving hand, and the lower hand is the receiving hand. So whatever you become independent of, do not ask. Indeed, Allah's wealth is to be asked and given.'"
