Kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "Mtume (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "The upper hand is better than the lower one (i.e., the spending hand is better than the receiving hand); and begin (sadaka) with those who are under your care; and the best sadaka is that which given out of surplus; and he who asks (Allah) to help him abstain from the unhalali and the forbidden, Allah will fulfill his wish; and he who seeks self-sufficiency will be made self-sufficient by Allah".."

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The upper hand is better than the lower one (i.e., the spending hand is better than the receiving hand); and begin (charity) with those who are under your care; and the best charity is that which given out of surplus; and he who asks (Allah) to help him abstain from the unlawful and the forbidden, Allah will fulfill his wish; and he who seeks self-sufficiency will be made self-sufficient by Allah"..
