Abu Huraira is reported to have heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) 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.
حَدَّثَنِي هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ بَيَانٍ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيَحْطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ مِنْ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ مَنَعَهُ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
  بیان بن ابی بشر نے قیس بن ابی حازم سے اور انھوں نے حضرت ابو ہریرۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کوفرماتے ہوئے سنا : " تم میں سے کوئی شخص صبح کو نکلے اپنی پشت پر لکڑیاں اکھٹی کر لائےاور اس سے صدقہ کرے اور لوگوں ( کے عطیوں ) سے بے نیاز ہوجائے ، وہ اس سے بہترہے کہ کسی آدمی سے مانگے ، وہ ( چاہے تو ) اسےدے یا ( چاہے تو ) محروم رکھے ، بلاشبہ اوپر والا ہاتھ نیچے والے ہاتھ سے افضل ہے اور ( خرچ کرے کی ) ابتدا ان سے کرو جن کی تم کفالت کرتے ہو ۔ "

Malik al-Ashja'i reported: We, nine, eight or seven men, were in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and he said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? -while we had recently pledged allegiance. So we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? And we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? We stretched our hands and said: Messenger of Allah. we have already pledged allegiance to you. Now tell (on what things) should we pledge allegiance to you. He said I (You must pledge allegiance) that you would worship Allah only and would not associate with Him anything, (and observe) five prayers, and obey- (and he said onething in an undertone) -that you would not beg people of anything. (And as a consequence of that) I saw that some of these people did not ask anyone to pick up the whip for them if it fell down.
