حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ح. وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، وَذَكَرَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَالتَّعَفُّفَ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ ‏ "‏ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، فَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا هِيَ الْمُنْفِقَةُ، وَالسُّفْلَى هِيَ السَّائِلَةُ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Ibn `Umar

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
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) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১৩৩৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
