Question:
The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is established. What is the meaning of the word "your hands"?
Answer:
Its origin is poverty. The phrase "your hands" is a supplication for poverty, but the Messenger did not intend this. Rather, it is a phrase that came to be used without its meaning being intended, and its meaning is not a supplication, because it became a phrase that circulates on tongues without intending its meaning. Otherwise, its origin is a supplication for poverty.
