614 صحيح حديث حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي؛ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَاحَكِيمُ إِنَّ هذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِسَخَاوَةِ نَفْسٍ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلاَ يَشْبَعُ، الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لاَ أَرْزأْ أَحَدًا بَعْدكَ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُفَارِقَ الدُّنْيَا فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه، يَدْعُو حَكِيمًا إِلَى الْعَطَاءِ، فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه دَعَاهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى حَكِيمٍ، أَنِّي أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ حَقَّهُ مِنْ هذَا الْفَيْءِ فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ فَلَمْ يَرْزَأْ حَكِيمٌ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for something and he gave it to me. I asked again and he gave it to me again. I asked once more and he still gave it to me. After that, he said: “O Hakim, this wealth is indeed lush and sweet, but whoever takes it with a generous heart, there is blessing in it for him. And whoever takes it with greed, there is no blessing in it for him. His example is like that of a person who eats but is never satisfied. (Remember) the upper hand is better than the lower hand.” Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I swore by the One Who sent you with the truth, after this I will never take anything from anyone until I depart from this world.” Thus, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) would call Hakim to give him his share, he would refuse to take it. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also wanted to give him his share, but he refused to take it. Upon this, Sayyiduna Umar said: “O Muslims, I make you witness regarding Hakim bin Hizam that I wanted to give him his right, but he refused to take it.” Thus, Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) continued to refuse to take anything from anyone after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until he passed away.
