Musnad Ahmad 30:2012

Hawdha narrated to us, he said: ‘Awf narrated to us, from Khallas, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: "By God, for one of you to take a rope, then go to this mountain, gather a bundle of firewood, sell it, and thereby become independent of people, is better for him than to ask people, whether they give him or refuse him."
