question #1 Sahih al-Bukhari 1471, Book 24, Hadith 73 : What is the significance of earning a livelihood through one’s own efforts in Islam?

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “It is better for anyone of you to take a rope (and cut) and bring a bundle of
wood (from the forest) over his back and sell it and Allah will save his face (from the Hell-Fire)
because of that, rather than to ask the people who may give him or not.”
