Hadith 1042 Part A

setting

Abu Huraira is reported to have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying

It is letter for one among you to bring a load of firewood on his back and give charity out of it (and satisfy his own need) and be independent of people, than that he should beg from people, whether they give him anything or refuse him. Verily the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin (charity) with your dependants.
