Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 2075
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَحْبُلَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ".
Yahya ibn Musa narrated to us: Waki narrated to us: Hisham ibn Urwa narrated to us, from his father, from al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “For one of you to take his ropes is better for him than asking people.”
Translation notes
The Arabic mentions taking one ropes but does not explicitly state what he will use them for; the witness adds cutting and carrying wood.
لأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَحْبُلَهُ
The English witness specifies cutting and carrying wood, which is not stated in this Arabic wording.
None; the translation follows the Arabic extent.
