والله لان يغدو احدكم فيحتطب على ظهره، فيبيعه، ويستغني به، ويتصدق منه خير له من ان ياتي رجلا فيساله، يؤتيه او يمنعه، وذلك ان اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى، وابدا بمن تعول .
By Allah, for one of you to go out in the morning, gather firewood on his back, sell it, become self-sufficient by it, and give charity from it is better for him than to go to a man and ask him, who may give him or withhold from him. That is because the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin with those whom you support.
