وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
وَلِيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ، فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ، لَوْ فَضَّلْتَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ. فَقَالَ: أَشْتَرِي مِنْهُمْ شِرًى، فَأَمَّا هَذَا الْمَعَاشُ فَالْأُسْوَةُ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَثَرَةِ

Abū Bakr (may God be pleased with him) took charge, and he divided the wealth among the people equally. It was said to Abū Bakr: "O successor of the Messenger of God, if only you would give preference to the Emigrants and the Helpers." He said: "Am I to buy their [deeds] for a price? As for this livelihood, equality in it is better than preference."
