عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا حَكِيمُ، إِنَّ هَذَا المَالَ خَضِرٌ حُلْوٌ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِسَخَاوَةِ نَفْسٍ، بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلاَ يَشْبَعُ، وَاليَدُ العُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ اليَدِ السُّفْلَى»، قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ لاَ أَرْزَأُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُفَارِقَ الدُّنْيَا، فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدْعُو حَكِيمًا لِيُعْطِيَهُ العَطَاءَ، فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ دَعَاهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُ، فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ المُسْلِمِينَ، إِنِّي أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ حَقَّهُ الَّذِي قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ هَذَا الفَيْءِ، فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ. فَلَمْ يَرْزَأْ حَكِيمٌ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ.
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Hakiim Bin Hizaam radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake amesema: Nilimuomba Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akanipa, kisha nikamuomba tena akanipa, kisha akasema kuniambia: "Ewe Hakim, hakika mali hii ni kijani kibichi kitamu, atakayeichukua kwa ukarimu wa nafsi, basi atabarikiwa ndani yake, na atakayeichukua kwa kujikweza hatobarikiwa ndani yake, na atakuwa sawa na yule anayekula wala hashibi, na mkono wa juu ni bora kuliko mkono wa chini", Hakim anasema: Nikasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, ninamuapa yule aliyekutuma kwa haki, sitompunguzia yeyote mali yake baada yako kamwe mpaka ntakapoondoka duniani, akawa Abubakari akimuita Hakim ili ampe chochote, akawa anakataa kupokea chochote kutoka kwake, kisha Omari alimuita ili ampe, akakataa kupokea, akasema: Enyi Waislamu, hakika mimi ninamletea haki yake ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu kamgawia katika ngawira, anakataa kuichukua. Hakim hakumuomba tena mtu yeyote baada ya Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, mpaka alipofariki Mwenyezi Mungu amrehe
Hakīm ibn Hizām (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) for some money, and he gave it to me. Then I asked him again, and he gave it to me. Then I asked him again, and he gave it to me, and then he said: "O Hakīm, this money is like a sweet, fresh fruit; whoever takes it without greediness, he is blessed with it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed with it, and he is like a person who eats but is never satiated; and the upper hand is better than the lower hand." Hakīm added: I said: O Messenger of Allah, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I shall never accept anything from anyone after you until I depart this world. Then Abu Bakr would call Hakīm in order to give him, and he would refuse to take anything. Then ‘Umar called him to give it to him, but he would refuse to accept it. Upon that, ‘Umar said: O Muslims, I offer Hakīm his share from this booty that Allah entitled him to, and he refuses to take it. So, Hakīm never took anything from anybody after the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) till he died (may Allah have mercy upon him).
Kuchukua mali na kuikusanya kwa njia za kisheria hakupingani na kuiepuka dunia; kwa sababu kuipa mgongo dunia ni ukwasi wa nafsi na moyo kutofungamana na mali.
Kumebainishwa ukubwa wa ukarimu wa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, na kwamba alikuwa akitoa utoaji wa mtu asiyeogopa umasikini kamwe!
Kutoa nasaha na kupupia katika kuwanufaisha ndugu, wakati wa kutoa msaada; kwa sababu wakati huo nafsi huwa imejiandaa kupokea maneno mazuri.
Kujizuia kuwaomba watu, na kuchukia kufanya hivyo, hasa hasa panapokuwa hakuna haja.
Hapa kuna ubaya wa kupupia mali na kuombaomba sana.
Muombaji atakapolazimisha kuomba, hakuna tatizo kumnyima na kumfelisha, na kumpa nasaha, na kumuamrisha kujizuia kuomba, na kuacha pupa ya kutaka kuchukua.
Hastahiki yeyote kuchukua chochote kutoka katika Hazina ya mali za Waislamu isipokuwa baada ya kupepwa na kiongozi, na ama kabla kuwagawanywa kwa ngawira, hastahiki pia kufanya hivyo.
Inafaa kuomba kukiwa na haja.
Amesema bin Hajari: Ndani ya kisa hiki nikuwa, inatakiwa kwa kiongozi kutombainishia muombaji madhara yaliyoko katika uombaji isipokuwa baada ya kukidhi haja yake ili mawaidha yake yafike mahala pake, ili asifikirie kuwa huenda hiyo ndio sababu ya kumnyima shida yake.
Ubora wa Hakim radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake na kushikamana kwake na ahadi aliyomuahidi Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake.
Amesema Is-haka bin Rahawaihi: Alifariki Hakim radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake ulipofikia wakati wa kufa, na hakika alikuwa amekwisha kuwa tajiri mwenye mali nyingi kuliko Makuraishi wote.
