No One Eats Better Food Than What He Earns With His Own Hands
مَا أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ طَعَامًا قَطُّ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ، وَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ

Translation
Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "No one has ever eaten better food than what he eats from the work of his own hands. The Prophet of Allah, Dawud (AS), used to eat from the work of his own hands."
