2532. Sa'eed and 'Urwah narrated that they heard Hâkim bin Hîzâm say: "I asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he gave me, then I asked him and he gave me, then I asked him and he gave me. Then he said: 'This wealth is attractive and sweet. Whoever takes it without insisting, it will be blessed for him, and whoever takes it with avarice, it will not be blessed for him. He is like one who eats and is not satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand.'" (Sahīh)
2531 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ، وَعُرْوَةُ، سَمِعَا حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِطِيبِ نَفْسٍ، بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ، لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى»

[1] At-Tawbah 9:79.
1. "Attractive and sweet": the verdant fodder is immensely coveted by animals and sweet things are generally yearned for much by men. Therefore, wealth was likened to those two things. 2. "Without insisting" means, without any greed or avarice, nor had he asked for it.
