English

[2387] 96 – (1035) It was narrated that Hakim bin Hizâm said: "I asked the Prophet and he gave to me, then I asked him and he gave to me, then I asked him and he gave to me, then he said: 'This wealth is green and fresh; whoever takes it without asking for it, it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes it with longing, it will not be blessed for him and he will be like the one who eats and is not satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand." rJ '
