Sahih al-Bukhari #3014
One-fifth of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus)
Hakim bin Hizam said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for something, and he gave me. I asked him again,
and he gave me, and said to me. 'O Hakim! This wealth is like green sweet (i.e. fruit), and if one takes
it without greed, then one is blessed in it, and if one takes it with greediness, then one is not blessed in
it, and will be like the one who eats without satisfaction. And an upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than
a lower (i.e. taking) hand,' I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth. I will
not ask anyone for anything after you till I leave this world." So, when Abu Bakr during his Caliphate,
called Hakim to give him (some money), Hakim refused to accept anything from him. Once `Umar
called him (during his Caliphate) in order to give him something, but Hakim refused to accept it,
whereupon `Umar said, "O Muslims! I give him (i.e. Hakim) his right which Allah has assigned to
him) from this Fai '(booty), but he refuses to take it." So Hakim never took anything from anybody
after the Prophet (ﷺ) till he died.

Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Appreciative.

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فِى ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا۟ بِرَآدِّى رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
And Allah has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allah they reject?
