حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، مَوْلَى يَزِيدَ (٢) ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، يَقُولُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنْ تُعْطِ الْفَضْلَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ، وَإِنْ تُمْسِكْهُ فَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكَ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ، وَلَا يَلُومُ اللهُ عَلَى الْكَفَافِ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى " (٣)، ،

English translation
This prophetic saying is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah Almighty says: O Adam, if you give something beyond your need to someone, it is better for you, and if you withhold it and keep it with yourself, it is bad for you. And begin with those who are under your responsibility, and Allah does not blame for withholding to the extent of sufficiency, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand.
