\nNarrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair and Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab:\n \n\nHakim bin Hizam said, "(Once) I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (for something) and he gave it to me. Again I \nasked and he gave (it to me). Again I asked and he gave (it to me). And then he said, "O Hakim! This \nproperty is like a sweet fresh fruit; whoever takes it without greediness, he is blessed in it, and \nwhoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it, and he is like a person who eats but is never \nsatisfied; and the upper (giving) hand is better than the lower (receiving) hand." Hakim added, "I said \nto Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , 'By Him (Allah) Who sent you with the Truth, I shall never accept anything from \nanybody after you, till I leave this world.' " Then Abu Bakr (during his caliphate) called Hakim to give \nhim his share from the war booty (like the other companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ), he refused to accept \nanything. Then `Umar (during his caliphate) called him to give him his share but he refused. On that \n`Umar said, "O Muslims! I would like you to witness that I offered Hakim his share from this booty \nand he refused to take it." So Hakim never took anything from anybody after the Prophet (ﷺ) till he died.\n
