حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، (١) عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ، وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ " فَقُلْتُ: وَمِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " وَمِنِّي " قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: قُلْتُ: " لَا تَكُونُ (٢) يَدِي تَحْتَ يَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَبَدًا " (٣)،

It is narrated from Hakeem that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin charity and almsgiving with those who are under your responsibility. And whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; whoever wants to remain chaste, Allah will keep him chaste.
