What about the following one --- do also note the comments though!
set.seed(14)
x <- rchisq(100, df = 4)
## Comparing data with a model distribution should be done with qqplot()!
qqplot(x, qchisq(ppoints(x), df = 4)); abline(0,1, col = 2, lty = 2)
## if you really insist on using hist() ... :
hist(x, prob = TRUE, ylim = c(0, 0.2))
curve(dchisq(x, df = 4), col = 2, lty = 2, lwd = 2, add = TRUE)
