"عن حَكِيم بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَأَلْحَفْتُ (*) عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَنَكَرَ (* *) مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ! إِنَّما هَذَا الْمَالُ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِى النَّاسِ، وَإنَّ يَدَ اللهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِى، وَيَدَ الْمُعْطِى فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى، وَيَدَ الْمُعْطَى أَسْفَلُ الأَيْدِى".
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for money, but he kept insisting. He said, "O Hakim, I do not deny your request, O Hakim. This money is green and sweet, yet it is still tainted by people's dirty hands. The hand of the giver is above the hand of the recipient, and the hand of the recipient is below the hand of the giver, while the lowest hand is that of the recipient."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَأَلْحَفْتُ فَقَالَ يَا حَكِيمُ مَا أَنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِوَيَدُ اللهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى وَأَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي يَدُ الْمُعْطَى
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave me, but I insisted. He said, "I do not deny your request, O wise one. However, this wealth is green and sweet, but it is also the dirt of people's hands. And the hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver, and the hand of the giver is above the hand of the asker, and the hand of the asker is at the bottom of the hands."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطَانِي وَأَلْحَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا أُنْكِرُ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ إِنَّمَاهَذَا الْمَالُ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَيَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ السَّائِلِ وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ أَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي»
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for some money, and I insisted, so he gave me. Then I asked him again, and he gave me. He said, "O wise man, I did not hesitate to fulfill your request, as this money is green and sweet, but it is also the filth of people's hands. Whoever takes it generously, will be blessed in it, and whoever takes it with arrogance will not be blessed. It is like the one who eats and never feels satisfied. The hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver, and the hand of the giver is above the hand of the receiver, and the hand of the receiver is the lowest."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَأَلْحَحْتُ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي فَقَالَ «مَا أَنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِسَخَاوَةٍ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهَا وَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ وَكَانَ كَالْآكِلِ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ يَدُ اللهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى وَيَدُ الْمُعْطَى أَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي»
[Machine] I asked the Prophet ﷺ and insisted on him. He said, "I do not deny your request, O wise man. Indeed, this wealth is green and sweet, but it is also tainted by the hands of people. Indeed, the hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver, and the hand of the giver is above the hand of the receiver, and the lowest hand is the hand of the receiver."
سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَلْحَحْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَإِنَّ يَدَ اللهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى وَأَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي يَدُ الْمُعْطَى»
"سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَأَلْحَحْتُ فَأَعْطَانِى، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِى، فَقَالَ: مَا أَنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِى النَّاسِ، فَمن أَخَذَهَا بِسَخَاوَةٍ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهَا، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَاركْ لَهُ فِيهَا، وَكَانَ كَالآكِلِ وَلَا يَشْبِعُ يَدُ الله فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِى، وَيَدُ الْمُعطِى فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطَى أَسْفَلُ الأَيدِى".
