Temperature dependent ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and specific heat measurements for CaK(Fe_1–xNi_x)₄As₄ with x = 0, 0.017, 0.033, and 0.049 are presented. No magnetic hyperfine field (i.e., no static magnetic order) down to 5.5 K was detected for x = 0 and 0.017 in agreement with the absence of any additional feature below superconducting transition temperature T_c in the specific heat data. The evolution of magnetic hyperfine field with temperature was studied for x = 0.033 and 0.049. The long-range magnetic order in these two compounds coexists with superconductivity. The magnetic hyperfine field B_hf (ordered magnetic moment) below T_c in CaK(Fe_0.967Ni_0.033)₄As₄ is continuously suppressed with the developing superconducting order parameter. The B_hf(T) data for CaK(Fe_0.967Ni_0.033)₄As₄ and CaK(Fe_0.951Ni_0.049)₄As₄ can be described reasonably well by Machida's model for coexistence of itinerant spin density wave magnetism and superconductivity. Furthermore, we demonstrate directly that superconductivity suppresses the spin density wave order parameter if the conditions are right, in agreement with the theoretical analysis.
