"عَنْ عُرْوَة بن مُحَمَّد، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ في نَاسٍ مِنْ بَنى سَعْدٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: مَا أَغْنَاكَ الله فَلَا تَسَأَلِ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا، فَإِن الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْطية وَإن الْيَدَ السُّفْلَى هِىَ الْمنْطَاة، وَإِنَّ مَالَ الله مَسْئُولٌ وَمُنطِى، فَكَلَّمَنا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِلُغَتِنَا".

"'Urwah ibn Muhammad narrated from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ with some people of Banu Sa'd, and I heard him say: 'Whatever Allah has made you independent of, do not ask people for anything. Indeed, the upper hand is the giving hand, and the lower hand is the receiving hand, and indeed Allah's wealth is to be asked and given.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to us in our own language."
