1257. Ḥabīb bin Abī Thābit narrated from Ḥakīm bin Ḥizām, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent Ḥakīm bin Ḥizām with a Dīnār to buy an animal for Udhiyyah (an animal for sacrifice) for him. He purchased an Udhiyyah which he sold and profited a Dīnār from, so he purchased another in its place. And he returned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with the Udhiyyah and the Dīnār, so he said: 'The sheep is for sacrifice and the Dīnār is for charity.'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:]: We do not know of the Hadīth of Ḥakīm bin Ḥizām
except through this route, and Ḥabīb bin Abī Thābit did not hear from Ḥakīm bin Hīzām — in my view.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ gave one Dīnār to Ḥakīm to buy an animal for sacrifice and not for the sake of business. Ḥakīm, in good faith and as a well-wisher of the Prophet ﷺ, earned one Dīnār by a business transaction. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and presented the animal and the Dīnār. The motive of the Prophet ﷺ was only to make a sacrifice and not any kind of business, so he ordered Ḥakīm to slaughter the animal and give a Dīnār in charity.
