Encouraging Earning a Living From the Work of Ones Hands Instead of Begging

Hadith: Arabic Text followed by English Translation. 

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

لأن يحتطب أحدكم حزمة على ظهره، خير له من أن يسأل أحداً فيعطيه فيعطيه أو يمنعه‏

متفق عليه، رواه البخاري، ١٤٧٠ و مسلم، ١٠٤٢

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

It is better for anyone of you to carry a bundle of wood on his back and sell it rather than to ask someone who may or may not give him.

Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 1470 and Muslim, 1042
