Hakeem bin Hizam reported,
Hakeem bin Hizam said, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something, and he gave it to me. Then I asked him again, and he gave to me. Then I asked him a third time, and he gave to me, and said, "Hakeem, how persistent your asking is! Hakeem, this wealth is sweet and green, but it is also the filth of people's hands. 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 of hands is the hand of the receiver."
Azami 357
Sahihعن حكيم بن حزام قال
سألت رسول الله ﷺ فألتحفت فقال: يا حكيم ما أنكر مسألتك! يا حكيم إن هذا المال خضرة حلوة، وإنما هو مع ذلك أوساخ أيدي الناس، ويد الله فوق يد المعطي، ويد المعطي فوق يد المعطى، وأسفل الأيدي يد المعطى.
Ahmad (15321) and Tabarani in al-Kabir (3/216–217) both narrated it from the hadith of Ibn Abu Dhib, from Muslim bin Jundab, from Hakeem bin Hizam, who mentioned it, and their wordings are identical. Ibn Khuzayma graded it sahih, and reported it in Kitab Tawhid (103, 104), as did Hakim (3/484), both from this route. Hakim said, "This is a hadith sahih in isnad." Ibn Khuzayma said, "Muslim bin Jundab did hear several things from Ibn Umar, and he said, Ibn Umar ordered me to buy a sacrificial camel for him, so I do not deny that he may have heard from Hakeem bin Hizam," end of quote. Hafiz graded its isnad sahih in Fath al-Bari (3/293), after attributing it to Tabarani alone.Furthermore, Muslim bin Jundab has been corroborated, for Tabarani narrated it in al-Kabir (3/212) through another route, from Fulayh bin Sulayman, from Zuhri, from Saeed bin Musayab and Urwa bin Zubayr, from Hakeem bin Hizam, who mentioned something similar, adding at the beginning of the hadith, "I do not object to your request, Hakeem. This wealth is green and sweet, and it is the dirt of people's hands. Whoever takes it with generosity of spirit will be blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greed of soul will not be blessed in it, and will be like one who eats but is never satisfied." Then he mentioned, "The hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver..." In this chain is Fulayh bin Sulayman al-Khuzai, whom most scholars of knowledge consider daif, but he is acceptable in corroborating narrations.
