Sahih (authentic)by Al-Albani

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ حَبْلَهُ فَيَحْتَطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَجُلاً أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَيَسْأَلَهُ أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ مَنَعَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:"By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if one of you were to take a rope and gather firewood on his back that would be better for him than coming to a man to whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has given of His bounty and asking him (for help). Which he may or may not give

Rapporté par Abu Hurairah : Le Messager d’Allah a dit : “Par Celui qui détient mon âme dans Sa main, si l’un de vous prenait une corde et ramassait du bois sur son dos, cela vaudrait mieux pour lui que d’aller demander à un homme à qui Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, a donné de Ses bienfaits, et de lui demander (de l’aide), qu’il lui donne ou non.”
