بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْيَدِ الْعُلْيَا وَالْيَدِ السُّفْلَىChapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Upper Hand and the Lower Hand
Hadith 3515
اُردوEn
عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ، لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعْ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى))
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he gave me. I asked again, and he fulfilled my request. I made a demand a third time, and still he gave me. But he also said: This wealth is attractive and delightful; whoever takes it with its due right, it will be blessed for him, and whoever takes it out of greed, there will be no blessing in it for him, and he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied. In any case, the upper hand is better than the lower hand.
