Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي 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 فَأَعْطِيَنَّ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ.
English Translation
Ubayda narrated to us: Abu al-Za'ra' narrated to me, from Abu al-Ahwas, from his father Malik b. Nadla, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hands are of three kinds: the Hand of Allah is the highest, then the hand of the giver, which follows it, then the hand of the beggar, which is the lowest. So give in abundance, and do not fail to provide for yourself."
