حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَطَنٍ الْأُبُلِّيُّ قَالَ: نَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحُنَيْنِيُّ قَالَ: نَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيكَ، وَلَكِنِ اسْتَقْرِضْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنَا شَيْءٌ فَنُعْطِيَكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا كَلَّفَكَ اللهُ هَذَا، أَعْطَيْتَ مَا عِنْدَكَ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَكَ فَلَا تُكَلَّفْ. قَالَ: فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْتَ، فَأَعْطِ وَلَا تَخْشَ مِنْ ذِي الْعَرْشِ إِقْلَالًا، قَالَ: فَتَبَسَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: " بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ ".

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him. He said: "I have nothing to give you, but borrow until something comes to us and we give you." 'Umar said: "God has not burdened you with this. You gave what you had; if you do not have anything, you are not obligated." He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ disliked what 'Umar said, until it was seen in his face. The man said: "O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Give and do not fear any lessening from the Owner of the Throne." He said: The Prophet ﷺ smiled and said: "With this I have been commanded."
