Abu Hurairah reported,

He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Allah عز وجل says, 'Son of Adam, if you give away your surplus, it is better for you, and if you withhold it, it is worse for you. Begin with those whom you support. Allah does not blame anyone for having only what suffices. The upper hand is better than the lower hand.'"

عن أبي هريرة

أنه سمع النبي ﷺ يقول: إن الله عز وجل يقول: يا ابن آدم! إن تعط الفضل فهو خير لك، وإن تمسكه فهو شر لك، وابدأ بمن تعول، ولا يلوم الله على الكفاف، واليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى.
