Sunan Ibn Majah, 1836

Rapporté par Hisham bin Urwah, d’après son père, que son grand-père a dit : Le Messager d’Allah a dit : “Si l’un d’entre vous prenait sa corde et allait à la montagne pour ramener un fagot de bois sur son dos afin de le vendre et ainsi subvenir à ses besoins, cela vaudrait mieux pour lui que de mendier auprès des gens, qui peuvent lui donner ou non.”

It was narrated from Hisham bin Urwah, from his father, that:his grandfather said: “The Messenger of Allah said: 'If one of you were to take his rope (or ropes) and go to the mountains, and bring a bundle of firewood on his back to sell, and thus become independent of means, that would be better for him than begging from people who may either give him something or not give him anything.'”
