Soon thereafter, there was a knock at the door. Again, Hazrat Hammaad sent the little girl to the door. The girl announced that the Khalifah, Muhammad Bin Sulaimaan was at the door. He had come walking alone.
As he entered, he made Salaam and said: “What is the matter with me? When I look at you, I am filled with awe and fear.”
Hazrat Hammaad said: “I have heard from Thaabit Bunaani the following Hadith of Anas Bin Maalik (Radhiyallahu anhu) which he narrated from Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam): “When an Aalim desires the Pleasure of Allah with his knowledge, then everything fears him. And, when he intends to accumulate wealth by means of his knowledge, then he fears everything.”
The Khalifah then posed his question: “A man has two sons. He loves the one more than the other one, He therefore wishes to bequeath two thirds of his estate to the son whom he loves more.”
Hazrat Hammaad said: “May Allah have mercy on him. I have heard Anas (Radhiyallaahu anhu) narrating from Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam): ‘When Allah intends to punish a man with his wealth, then, He (Allah) gives him the inclination to make an unjust bequest.”
Muhammad Bin Sulaimaan (the Khalifah) then presented 40,000 dirhams (silver coins) to Hazrat Hammaad, but he declined the gift.
