حَدَّثَنَا أبو العبّاس محمد بن يعقوب حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بن نَصْر، حَدَّثَنَا عبد الله بن وَهْب، قال: أخبرني ابن أبي ذِئب، عن مُسلِم بن جُندُب، عن حَكِيم بن حِزَام، قال: سألتُ رسول الله ﷺ، فأعطاني، فألحَفْتُ عليه، فقال: "ما أنكَرَ مسألتَكَ يا حكيم، إنما هذا المالُ خَضِرةٌ حُلوة، وإنما هو [مع] ذلك أوساخُ أيدي الناس، وإنَّ يدَ الله فوق [يد] المُعطي، ويدَ المُعطي فوق يد السائل، ويدَ المُعطَى أسفلُ الأيدي" (2).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (for wealth) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me; then I asked again insistently, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hakim, how strange your asking is! Indeed, this wealth is green and sweet, yet along with that it is the dirt of people's hands. And indeed the Hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver, and the hand of the giver is above the hand of the one who asks, and the hand of the one who is given is the lowest of hands."

(2) إسناده صحيح. مسلم بن جندب روايته عن حكيم بن حزام محمولة على الاتصال كما رجَّح ابن خزيمة، حيث قال في "التوحيد" 1/ 156: مسلم بن جندب قد سمع من ابن عمر غير شيء، وقال: أمرني ابن عمر أن أشتري له بدنة، فلست أنكر أن يكون قد سمع من حكيم بن حزام.
Grading: Its chain is "sahih".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The narration of Muslim bin Jundab from Hakim bin Hizam is to be taken as "muttasil" (connected), as Ibn Khuzaymah considered preponderant in "al-Tawhid" (1/156): since his hearing from Ibn Umar is established, his hearing from Hakim bin Hizam is not unlikely.
ابن أبي ذئب: هو محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ذئب.
Important point: Ibn Abi Dhi'b is the well-known muhaddith Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Dhi'b.
وأخرجه أحمد 24/ (15321) عن يزيد بن هارون، عن ابن أبي ذئب بهذا الإسناد.
Reference / Source: Ahmad narrated it (24/15321) via Yazid bin Harun from Ibn Abi Dhi'b, with this same chain.
وانظر ما سلف برقم (2161).
Note / Clarification: Its details have passed at the earlier hadith no. (2161).
قوله: فألحفتُ؛ أي: بالغت في المسألة.
Note / Clarification: The phrase "fa-alhaftu" means: I was very insistent and excessive in asking (begging).
ما أنكر مسألتك أي ما أقبحها، حيث جاوزت حدها.
Note / Clarification: "Ma ankara mas'alataka" means: how ugly and disliked this request of yours is, since you have exceeded its limit.
خضرة حلوة؛ أي: مرغوب فيها من كل وجه، من جهة الذوق واللون.
Note / Clarification: "Khadirah hulwah" (green and sweet) means that worldly wealth is attractive and desirable in every respect, in taste as well as in colour and appearance.
أوساخ أيدي الناس أي: يخرج من الأيدي حالة الصرف، كما تخرج الأوساخ. ويحتمل أنه قاله لأنَّهُ كان مال الصدقة. شرحه السندي في حاشيته على "مسند أحمد".
Note / Clarification: "The dirt of people's hands" means that when spent, this wealth leaves the hands just as dirt does; or it refers to charity wealth (which has been called the dirt of people's wealth). Al-Sindi gave this explanation in his "Hashiyah" on the "Musnad Ahmad".
