Volume 2, Book 24, Number 509:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) 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."
