Hadith 15321

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْمَالِ ؟ فَأَلْحَفْتُ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا حَكِيمُ ، مَا أنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ ، وَيَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي ، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى ، وَأَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي يَدُ الْمُعْطَى " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam that once I requested some wealth from the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I did so several times. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Hakim, I do not refuse to give you upon your request, but Hakim, this wealth is lush and sweet, and along with it comes the dirt of people's hands. Allah's hand is above the giving hand, and the giving hand is above the receiving hand, and the lowest hand is that of the receiver."
