It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (for wealth) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me; then I asked again insistently, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hakim, how strange your asking is! Indeed, this wealth is green and sweet, yet along with that it is the dirt of people's hands. And indeed the Hand of Allah is above the hand of the giver, and the hand of the giver is above the hand of the one who asks, and the hand of the one who is given is the lowest of hands." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Umarah bin Ukaymah al-Laythi narrates from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I saw myself on the day of the Battle of Badr when a black striped cloak (like a cloud) came down from the sky into the valley and covered the horizon, and then suddenly the valley was filled (with an army) like ants. It occurred to my heart that this was something from the heavens by which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had been aided. Then there was nothing but the defeat (of the idolaters), and it was the angels."

It is narrated from Irak bin Malik that Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "In the time of Jahiliyyah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most beloved of all people to me. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) received prophethood and went to Madinah, Hakim bin Hizam came (to Makkah) at the season of Hajj. He saw a robe of Dhu Yazan, the king of Yemen, being sold for fifty dirhams, and he bought it in order to present it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to accept the gift, he (peace and blessings be upon him) refused." Ubaydullah says: I think he said: "We do not accept anything (as a gift) from the idolaters, but if you wish, we will take it for its price." So I gave the robe to him (peace and blessings be upon him), until he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Madinah. Then I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit wearing that very robe, and I have never seen anyone more handsome in that robe than him (peace and blessings be upon him) that day. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that robe to Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both). Hakim saw Usamah wearing it and said: O Usamah, do you wear the robe of Dhu Yazan? He replied: "Yes, because I am better than Dhu Yazan, my father is better than his father, and my mother is better than his mother." Hakim says: I went back to Makkah and began telling the people of Usamah's words, to their amazement. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him as governor to Yemen, he said: "Do not touch the Noble Qur'an except when you are in a state of ablution (purity)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
