حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، وَذَكَرَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَالتَّعَفُّفَ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ «الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، فَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا هِيَ الْمُنْفِقَةُ، وَالسُّفْلَى هِيَ السَّائِلَةُ»

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was on the pulpit speaking about charity, to abstain from asking others for some financial help and about begging others, saying, “The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is that of the giver and the lower (hand) is that of the beggar.”

ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একদা মিম্বারের উপর থাকা অবস্থায় সদাকাহ করা ও ভিক্ষা করা হতে বেঁচে থাকা ও ভিক্ষা করা প্রসঙ্গ উল্লেখ করে বলেনঃ উপরের হাত নীচের হাত অপেক্ষা উত্তম। উপরের হাত দাতার, আর নীচের হাত হলো ভিক্ষুকের। (মুসলিম ১২/৩২, হাঃ ১০৩৩, আহমাদ ৪৪৭৪)

ہم سے ابوالنعمان نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا کہ ہم سے حماد بن زید نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے ایوب نے ‘ ان سے نافع نے اور ان سے ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا۔ ( دوسری سند ) اور ہم سے عبداللہ بن مسلمہ نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے مالک نے ‘ ان سے نافع نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جب کہ آپ منبر پر تشریف رکھتے تھے۔

آپ نے صدقہ اور کسی کے سامنے ہاتھ نہ پھیلانے کا اور دوسروں سے مانگنے کا ذکر فرمایا اور فرمایا کہ اوپر والا ہاتھ نیچے والے ہاتھ سے بہتر ہے۔ اوپر کا ہاتھ خرچ کرنے والے کا ہے اور نیچے کا ہاتھ مانگنے والے کا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu An-Nu'man] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Ayyub] dari [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu'Umar radliallahu 'anhuma] berkata; Aku mendengar Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam. Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Maslamah] dari [Malik] dari [Nafi'] dari ['Abdullah bin 'Umar radliallahu 'anhua] bahwa Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam bersabda ketika berada di atas mimbar, diantaranya Beliau menyebut tentang shadaqah dan masalah tangan yang diatas lebih baik dari pada tangan yang di bawah.

Tangan yang diatas adalah yang memberi (mengeluarkan infaq) sedangkan tangan yang di bawah adalah yang meminta

Abdullah İbn Ömer r.a. Resululıah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in hutbede, Sadaka, iffetli (onurlu) kalma ye dilencilikle ilgili bir konuşma yaparken şöyle buyurduğunu işittim demiştir: "Üstteki el, alttaki elden daha hayırlıdır. üstteki, veren; alttaki ise dilenen eldir

Sahih al-Bukhari 1429, Book 24, Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat), Hadith 32. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), while delivering a sermon from the pulpit, mentioned charity and refraining from begging; then he said: The upper hand—the one that gives and spends—is better and more beloved to Allah than the lower hand—the one that asks.

What it teaches

  • It highlights the virtue of giving and spending in good causes and the dispraise of begging.
  • It encourages refraining from asking others and being self-sufficient and urges the pursuit of noble matters while avoiding lowly ones, for Allah loves lofty aspirations.
  • There are four types of hands in terms of virtue, ranked as follows: the highest is the giving hand, followed by the one that refrains from taking, then the one that receives without asking, and the lowest of them is the begging hand.
