حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍعَنْ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا، وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلهِ، وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللهِ، قَالَ: خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَعَمَّلَنِي فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ، فَكُلْ وَتَصَدَّقْ.

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab appointed me over the sadaqah. When I finished with it and delivered it to him, he ordered a payment for me. I said to him: 'I only worked for Allah, and my reward is with Allah.' He said: 'Take what you are given. I worked in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave me a payment. I said something like what you said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "If you are given something without asking for it, then eat it and give charity."'
