Charity Hadith (Gives better than Takes )

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

Abu Umamah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 

“O son of Adam, indeed it is better for you to spend (in charity) and to withhold is evil for you, 

although there is no reproach (if you withhold) for necessary living. 

Begin with your dependents, and the upper hand (that gives) is better than the lower hand (that takes.)”

( Sahih Muslim )

أَبَا أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

 يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَبْذُلَ الْفَضْلَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَأَنْ تُمْسِكَهُ شَرٌّ لَكَ وَلَا تُلَامُ عَلَى كَفَافٍ

 وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى

The Upper Hand that gives is better than the Lower Hand that takes
