Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something and he gave it to me. I asked him again and he gave it to me. I asked him again and he gave it to me. I asked him again and he gave it to me. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This wealth is lush and sweet. Whoever receives it with contentment of heart, there is blessing in it for him. And whoever receives it with greed, there is no blessing in it for him, and he is like the one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand."
