Mukhtasar Bukhari

Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I once asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for something, and he gave it to me. Then I asked again, and he gave it to me. I asked again, and he gave it to me. After that, he said: "O Hakim! This wealth is a sweet and lush thing. Whoever takes it without greed, there is blessing in it for him, and whoever takes it with greed, there is no blessing in it for him, and he is like the one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand." Sayyiduna Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I will not take anything from anyone after you until I depart from this world." So, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph, he kept calling Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) to give him his stipend (which was fixed for all the companions), but he refused to accept it. Then Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), during his caliphate, called him to give him his stipend, but he refused to accept it. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Muslims! I make you witness that I am offering Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) his right, but he refuses to take his share from this booty." In short, Sayyiduna Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) did not take anything from anyone after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until he passed away.
