حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَعُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «يَا حَكِيمُ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرٌ حُلْوٌ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِسَخَاوَةِ نَفْسٍ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى».

قَالَ حَكِيمٌ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا أَرْزَأُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُفَارِقَ الدُّنْيَا. فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَدْعُو حَكِيمًا لِيُعْطِيَهُ الْعَطَاءَ فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ دَعَاهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُ فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، إِنِّي أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ حَقَّهُ الَّذِي قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَىْءِ فَيَأْبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ.

فَلَمْ يَرْزَأْ حَكِيمٌ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

Hakim ibn Hizam said, “I asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 without greed then he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it and he is like one who eats and never gets satisfied.

The upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e. taking) hand.’ Hakim added, ‘I said, O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from anybody after you till I die.’ Afterwards Abu Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something but he refused to accept anything from him.

Then Umar 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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), till he died-may Allah bestow His mercy upon him.”

হাকীম ইবনু হিযাম (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-এর নিকট আমি সওয়াল করলাম, তিনি আমাকে দান করলেন। আবার সওয়াল করলাম, তিনি আমাকে দান করলেন।

অতঃপর তিনি আমাকে বললেন, ‘হে হাকীম! এই ধন সম্পদ সবুজ-শ্যামল, মধুর। যে ব্যক্তি দানশীলতার মনোভাব নিয়ে তা গ্রহণ করবে, তাতে তার বরকত হবে। আর যে ব্যক্তি প্রতীক্ষা কাতর অন্তরে তা গ্রহণ করবে, তাতে তার বরকত হবে না। সে ঐ ব্যক্তির মত যে খায়; কিন্তু তৃপ্ত হয় না। উপরের হাত নীচের হাতের চেয়ে উত্তম।’

হাকীম (রাঃ) বলেন, অতঃপর আমি বললাম, ‘হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! সেই সত্তার কসম, যিনি আপনাকে সত্যসহ পাঠিয়েছেন, আপনার পরে আমি দুনিয়া থেকে বিদায়ের আগে আর কারো কাছে কিছু চাইব না। অতঃপর আবূ বাকর (রাঃ) কিছু দান করার জন্য হাকীমকে আহবান করেন, কিন্তু হাকীম (রাঃ) তাঁর নিকট হতে কিছু গ্রহণ করতে অস্বীকার করেন। অতঃপর ‘উমার (রাঃ)-ও হাকীম (রাঃ)-কে কিছু দান করার জন্য ডেকে পাঠান, কিন্তু তাঁর কাছ থেকেও কিছু গ্রহণ করতে তিনি অস্বীকার করেন।

তখন ‘উমার (রাঃ) বলেন, হে মুসলিম সমাজ! আমি আল্লাহ্ প্রদত্ত গনীমতের মাল থেকে প্রাপ্য তাঁর অংশ তাঁর সামনে পেশ করেছি, কিন্তু তিনি তা নিতে অস্বীকার করেছেন; হাকীম (রাঃ) তাঁর মৃত্যু পর্যন্ত নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-এর পরে আর কারো নিকট কিছু চাননি। (১৪৭২)

ہم سے محمد بن یوسف بیکندی نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا ہم کو امام اوزاعی نے خبر دی ‘ انہوں نے زہری سے ‘ انہوں نے سعید بن مسیب اور عروہ بن زبیر سے کہ حکیم بن حزام رضی اللہ عنہ ( مشہور صحابی ) نے بیان کیا میں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے مانگا آپ نے مجھ کو دیا ‘ پھر مانگا پھر آپ نے دیا ‘ پھر فرمانے لگے حکیم یہ دنیا کا روپیہ پیسہ دیکھنے میں خوشنما اور مزے میں شیریں ہے لیکن جو کوئی اس کو سیر چشمی سے لے اس کو برکت ہوتی ہے اور جو کوئی جان لڑا کر حرص کے ساتھ اس کو لے اس کو برکت نہ ہو گی۔

اس کی مثال ایسی ہے جو کماتا ہے لیکن سیر نہیں ہوتا اوپر والا ( دینے والا ) ہاتھ نیچے والے ( لینے والے ) ہاتھ سے بہتر ہے۔ حکیم نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ! قسم اس کی جس نے آپ کو سچا پیغمبر کر کے بھیجا ہے میں تو آج سے آپ کے بعد کسی سے کوئی چیز کبھی نہیں لوں گا مرنے تک پھر ( حکیم کا یہ حال رہا ) کہ ابوبکر صدیق رضی اللہ عنہ ان کا سالانہ وظیفہ دینے کے لیے ان کو بلاتے ‘ وہ اس کے لینے سے انکار کرتے۔

پھر عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے بھی اپنی خلافت میں ان کو بلایا ان کا وظیفہ دینے کے لیے لیکن انہوں نے انکار کیا۔ عمر رضی اللہ عنہ کہنے لگے مسلمانو! تم گواہ رہنا حکیم کو اس کا حق جو لوٹ کے مال میں اللہ نے رکھا ہے دیتا ہوں وہ نہیں لیتا۔ غرض حکیم نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے بعد پھر کسی شخص سے کوئی چیز قبول نہیں کی ( اپنا وظیفہ بھی بیت المال میں نہ لیا ) یہاں تک کہ ان کی وفات ہو گئی۔ اللہ ان پر رحم کرے۔

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Muhammad binYusuf] telah bercerita kepada kami [Al Auza'iy] dari [Az Zuhriy] dari [Sa'id bin Al Musayyab] dan ['Urwah bin Az Zubair] bahwa [Hakim bin Hizam radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Aku meminta sesuatu kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam lalu Beliau memberikannya kepadaku. Kemudian aku meminta lagi dan Beliau pun memberikan lagi lalu Beliau berkata kepadaku: "Wahai Hakim, sesungguhnya harta itu hijau lagi manis, maka barang siapa yang mencarinya untuk kedermawanan dirinya maka harta itu akan memberkahinya.

Namun barang siapa yang mencarinya untuk keserakahan maka harta itu tidak akan memberkahinya, seperti orang yang makan namun tidak pernah kenyang. Tangan yang di atas lebih baik daripada tangan yang di bawah".

Hakim berkata; Aku katakan: "Wahai Rasulullah, demi Dzat yang telah mengutusmu dengan benar, aku tidak akan mengurangi hak seorangpun (untuk aku ambil) sepeninggal engkau hingga aku meninggalkan dunia ini". Suatu kali Abu Bakar pernah memanggil Hakim untuk memberikan sesuatu kepadanya namun dia menolak untuk menerima pemberiannya.

Kemudian 'Umar radliallahu 'anhu juga pernah memanggil Hakim untuk memberikan sesuatu namun Hakim juga menolak untuk menerimanya. Maka 'Umar radliallahu 'anhu berkata: "Aku bersaksi kepada kalian wahai kaum Muslimin tentang Hakim. Sungguh aku pernah menawarkan kepadanya haknya dari harta fa'iy (harta musuh tanpa peperangan) ini agar dia datang dan mengambilnya.

Sungguh Hakim tidak pernah mengurangi hak seorangpun sepeninggal Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam hingga dia -semoga Allah merahmatiny-, wafat

Hakim İbn Hizam r.a.'dan nakledilmiştir: Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'dan istedim ve bana verdi. Tekrar istedim, yine verdi. Sonra bana şöyle buyurdu: "Hakim! Bu mal var ya yeşil/iktir, tatlıdır. Gönül zenginliği ile alan için bereketli olur. Kendi yararını düşünerek alan için bereketsiz olur. Böyleleri, yiyip doymayana benzerler.

Üstteki el alttaki elden (veren el alan elden) üstündür." Bunun üzerine ben "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Seni Hak Nebi olarak gönderene yemin ederim ki dünyadan ayrılıncaya kadar bundan böyle kimsenin malını eksiltmeyeceğim" dedim. (Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'in vefatından sonra) Ebu Bekir radıyallahu anh bir şeyler vermek için Hakim'i çağırırdı ama o, kabul etmekten kaçınırdı.

Sonra Ömer, bir şeyler vermek için çağırdı, ondan da kabul etmedi. Bunun üzerine Ömer (r.a.) "Müslümanlar!" dedi, "Ben Hakım'e Allah'ın kendisi için ayırdığı ganimet payını almasını teklif ediyorum ama o, almamakta diretiyor" dedi. Hakim, Hz. Nebi'den sonra vefat edinceye kadar kimseden bir şey almadı

What it means

Hakīm ibn Hizām (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) for some of the worldly goods, and he gave them to him.

Then he asked again, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave him. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: O Hakīm, this wealth is sweet and tempting. Whoever receives it without asking and takes it without greed or insistence, it will be blessed for him. But whoever takes it out of craving and desire, it will not be blessed for him—he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied.

And the upper hand that gives is better in the sight of Allah than the lower hand that asks. Hakīm said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I will never again ask anyone for anything after you until I depart this world. The successor of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), would call Hakīm to give him his share (from the treasury), but he would refuse to accept anything.

Then the Commander of the Believers, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), also called him to give him something, but he likewise refused to accept it. So ‘Umar said: O Muslims, I offer him his rightful share—that which Allah has allotted to him from the spoils of war obtained without fighting—yet he refuses to take it. Hakīm never took anyone's wealth by asking after the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) until he passed away (may Allah be pleased with him).

What it teaches

  • Earning and collecting wealth through lawful means does not contradict renunciation of the world, because true asceticism is generosity of the soul and detachment of the heart from wealth.
  • This illustrates the great generosity of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and he gave like one who never feared poverty.
  • Offering sincere advice and striving to benefit one's brothers when providing help, for the soul is then more receptive of kind and beneficial words.
  • Refraining from asking people and warning against it, especially when there is no real need.
  • It indicates the condemnation of greed for wealth and excessive asking.
  • If a beggar persists in asking, there is no harm in turning him away, denying his request, advising him, and instructing him to be dignified and to abandon greed for taking.
  • No one is entitled to take anything from Bayt al-Māl (public treasury) except after it has been granted to him by the ruler; whereas, before the distribution of the spoils, no one has any rightful claim to that.
  • Asking is permissible in cases of genuine need.
  • Ibn Hajar said: This indicates that the leader should not offer advice by revealing the negative aspect of begging to the one asking before fulfilling his need, so that the advice reaches his heart effectively, and so that he does not assume that the advice was an excuse to deny him his request.
  • The virtue of Hakīm (may Allah be pleased with him) and his steadfastness in upholding the covenant he made with Allah and His Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • Is'hāq ibn Rāhawayh said: When Hakīm (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he was among the wealthiest of Quraysh.
