حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَالتَّعَفُّفَ مِنْهَا وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ:‏‏‏‏ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ وَالسُّفْلَى السَّائِلَةُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ اخْتُلِفَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ:‏‏‏‏ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وقَالَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وقَالَ وَاحِدٌ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said when he was on the pulpit speaking of sadaqah and abstention from it and begging: the upper hand is better than the lower one, the upper being the one which bestows and the lower which begs. Abu Dawud said: The version of this tradition narrated by Ayyub from Nafi is disputed. The narrator Abd al-Warith said in his version: `The upper hand is the one which abstains from begging;” but most of the narrators have narrated from Hammad bin Zaid from Ayyub the words “ The upper hand is the one which bestows. ” A narrator from Hammad said in his version “the one which abstains from begging. ”
