Hakim ibn Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he gave me. I asked him again, and he gave me. Then he said to me: ‘O Hakim, this wealth is green and sweet. Whoever takes it with a generous heart will be blessed in it, but whoever takes it with greed will not be blessed in it and will be like one who eats but is never satisfied. The upper hand is better than the lower hand.’ Hakim said: ‘I said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I will never ask anyone for anything after you until I leave this world.’”
