'The upper hand is better than the lower hand......

الســــــــــ عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته ــــــــــــــــــلام


Saxiix Bukhari:
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 508:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam

The Prophet said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand (i.e. he who gives in charity is better than him who takes it). One should start giving first to his dependents. And the best object of charity is that which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is left after his expenses). And whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save him from asking others, Allah will make him self-sufficient."

The moral of the hadith is to be generous by giving charity to the poor and the needy. It's important to first help those who are dependent on you (wife, children, parents, etc). Also, the hadith emphasizes self-sufficieny. Shukran for the contribution, mudane Aiman. up
