Abu Hurairah (RAA) reported that the messenger of Allah (SAW) said what
translated means:

" By He in Whose hand my soul is (i.e, by Allah), it is better for
one of you to take a rope, cut firewood and carry it on his
back (as a means of making a living) than to ask others (for charity)
whether they give it to him or withhold it from him. "
