Mukhtasar Muslim

Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for wealth, and he gave it to me. I asked again, and he gave it to me again. I asked again, and he gave it to me again. Then he said: This wealth is lush and sweet. So whoever takes it without asking for it, or takes it with the giver’s pleasure (not by forcefully demanding it), then there is blessing in it. And whoever takes it by humiliating himself (i.e., by begging or clinging), then there is no blessing in it, and his wealth is such that a person eats from it but is not satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand.
