Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّيْمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزَّعْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ.
English Translation
Ubaydah ibn Humayd Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Taymi narrated to us: Abu al-Za'ra' narrated to us from Abu al-Ahwas, from his father Malik ibn Nadlah, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Hands are of three kinds: the hand of God is the highest, the hand of the giver is next to it, and the hand of the beggar is the lowest; so give the surplus, and do not neglect yourself in doing so.
