DO NOT RELY ON OTHERS FOR YOUR LIVELIHOOD H 540 "If you took your ropes and went up into the mountains, gathered and carried a bundle of wood upon your back and then sold it, it is better than asking people for something regardless if they give it to you or not. It is in this way your face will be protected from the punishment of Allah." R 540 Bukhari with a chain up to Zubair son of Awam who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
538- وعن أَبي عبد الله الزبير بن العَوَّام رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "لأَنْ يَأخُذَ أحَدُكُمْ أحبُلَهُ ثُمَّ يَأتِيَ الجَبَلَ ، فَيَأْتِيَ بحُزمَةٍ مِنْ حَطَب عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهَا ، فَيكُفّ اللهُ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أنْ يَسْألَ النَّاسَ ، أعْطَوْهُ أَوْ مَنَعُوهُ" رواه البخاري .
