Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Wills and Testaments- 29th Dhul-Hijja 1427 (20 January 2007) Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair (Radhiallaho anho): Hakim bin Hizam (Radhiallaho anho) said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) for something, and he gave me, and I asked him again and he gave me and said, 'O Hakim! This wealth is green and sweet (i.e. as tempting as fruits), and whoever takes it with the upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e. taking) hand." Hakim added, "I said, O Allah's Messenger! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from anybody after you till I die." Afterwards Abu Bakr (Radhiallaho anho) used to call Hakim to give him something but he refused to accept anything from him. Then 'Umar (Radhiallaho anho) called him to give him (something) but he refused. Then 'Umar said, "O Muslims! I offered to him (i.e. Hakim) his share which Allah has ordained for him from this booty and he refuses to take it." Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for anything after the Prophet, till he died--may Allah bestow His mercy upon him.
