Hadhrat Ibn Hizam (Radhiyallaho anho) Gives up Begging.

Hadhrat Hakeem bin Hizam (Radhiallahu Anhu) once came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and begged him for some assistance. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) gave him something. Next time he came and asked for something again from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) gave him something on this occasion as well. When he came to beg the third time, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), after giving him something, said: “O Hakeem! Money has a deceptive appearance. It appears to be very sweet (but it is really not so). It is a blessing when earned with contentment of heart, but there is no satisfaction in it when it is acquired with greed (begging etc).” Hakeem said: “O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), I will not beg from anyone again after this.”
