Hadith 37102
٣٧١٠٢ - حدثنا سفيان ابن عيينة عن الزهري عن عروة وسعيد عن حكيم بن (حزام) (١) قال: سألت النبي ﷺ فأعطاني ثم سألته فأعطاني ثم (سألته فأعطاني) (٢) ثم قال: "إن (هذا) (٣) المال (خضرة حلوة) (٤)، فمن أخذه بطيب نفس بورك له فيه، ومن أخذه بإشراف نفس لم يبارك له فيه، وكان كالذي يأكل ولا يشبع، واليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى" (٥).
It is narrated from Hazrat Hakeem bin Hizam that he says: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he gave me. I asked him again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me again. I asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) once more, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me again. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, this wealth is lush and sweet. So, whoever takes it with a content heart, it is blessed for him. And whoever takes this wealth out of greed, there is no blessing in it for him. And the example of such a person is like that of one who eats but is not satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand.
