Urwah bin al-Zubayr from Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him)

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrated that he heard Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I said: O Messenger of Allah! In the Days of Ignorance I freed forty slaves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrated from Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the things I used to do in the Days of Ignorance for the sake of righteousness? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before." Hisham said: And he had freed slaves in the Days of Ignorance.

Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the deeds I used to do in the Days of Ignorance with the intention of righteousness, such as freeing slaves and maintaining ties of kinship? Will I receive a reward for them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) told him that he said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): What do you think about the deeds I used to do in the Days of Ignorance with the intention of righteousness; will I receive any reward for them? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before."

Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: What do you think about the deeds I used to do in the Days of Ignorance with the intention of righteousness, such as maintaining ties of kinship, freeing slaves and giving charity; will I receive a reward for them? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before."

Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the deeds I used to do in the Days of Ignorance with the intention of righteousness, such as charity, freeing slaves or maintaining ties of kinship; is there a reward in them? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you did before."

Al-Zuhri narrated from Urwah, from Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: O Messenger of Allah! The incantations (ruqyah) we used to have recited over us, and the medicines with which we used to treat ourselves, can they avert anything of the decree of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They too are part of the decree of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrated from Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Let each of you begin with those in his care. The best charity is that which is given out of surplus wealth. Whoever refrains from asking, Allah will keep him chaste; and whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will make him self-sufficient."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrated from Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Let each of you begin with those in his care. The best charity is that which is given out of surplus wealth. Whoever refrains from asking, Allah will keep him chaste; and whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will make him self-sufficient."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrated from Hakim bin Hizam bin Khuwaylid (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Let each of you begin with those in his care. The best charity is that given out of surplus wealth. Whoever refrains from asking, Allah will keep him chaste; and whoever wishes to be self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient."

Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went to Yemen and bought a fine suit of clothes of Dhu Yazan there, and presented it as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the period of truce between him (peace and blessings be upon him) and Quraysh. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist," and returned it. So I sold it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself bought it and wore it, then went out to his Companions while it was on him. I have never seen anything look as beautiful on anything as that suit looked on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I could not stop myself from saying:
"What are the judges waiting for, after a radiant, distinguished face has appeared?
When they vie with him in glory, he will prevail over them like clear water flowing from a spring."
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this and turned towards me smiling, then went inside and clothed Usamah bin Zayd with that suit.
