Hadith 35:16
Waki' narrated to us, he said: I heard Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, from Hakim ibn Hizam, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. And begin with those whom you support. Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and whoever seeks chastity, Allah will make him chaste."
حدثنا وكيع، قال: سمعت هشام بن عروة، عن أبيه، عن حكيم بن حزام، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى، وابدأ بمن تعول، من يستغن يغنه الله، ومن يستعف يعفه الله "
