The Sweet Money
Al-Hakim ibn Hizam asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for money three times, and each time the Prophet ﷺ gave it, then taught him that wealth is like green, sweet fruit: taken with a good heart it is blessed, taken with greed it does not benefit. 'The giving hand is better than the taking hand,' he said. Al-Hakim promised never to ask anyone for money again, and kept his word, even refusing help later offered by Abu Bakr and Umar.
