Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37102 — Reports from our Prophet
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 Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he gave to me. I asked him again and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me again. I asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) again and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me again. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this wealth is green and sweet. Whoever takes it with a contented soul is blessed in it, and whoever takes this wealth out of a craving soul is not blessed in it, and he is like the man who eats food but is not filled. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand."
