أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ فِرَاسٍ الْفَقِيهُ بِمَكَّةَ ثنا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ثنا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ عَامُ الرَّمَادِيِّ وَأَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عُمَرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَخْبَرَنِي الْعُمَرِيُّ مَا تُبَالِي إِذَا سَمِنْتَ وَمَنْ قِبَلَكَ أَنْ أَعْجَفَ وَمَنْ قِبَلِي وَيَا غَوْثَاهُ فَكَتَبَ عَمْرٌو السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ أَتَتْكَ عِيرٌ أَوَّلُهَا عِنْدَكَ وَآخِرُهَا عِنْدِي مَعَ أَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَجِدَ سَبِيلَانِ أَحْمِلُ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَوَّلُ عِيرٍ دَعَا الزُّبَيْرَ فَقَالَ «اخْرُجْ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ الْعِيرِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهَا غَدًا فَاحْمِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مَا قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ إِلَيَّ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ حَمْلَهُ فَمُرْ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ بِبَعِيرٍ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُلْبِسُوا النَّاسَ كَمَا أَتَيْنَ وَلْيَنْحَرُوا الْبَعِيرَ فَيَحْمِلُوا شَعْرَهُ وَلْيُقَدِّدُوا لَحْمَهُ وَلْيَحْتَذُوا جِلْدَهُ ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذُوا كُبَّةً مِنْ قَدِيدٍ وَكُبَّةً مِنْ شَحْمٍ وَجَفْنَةٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ فَلْيَطْبُخُوا وَلْيَأَكْلُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرِزْقٍ» فَأَبَى الزُّبَيْرِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجِدُ مِثْلَهَا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا» ثُمَّ دَعَا آخَرَ أَظُنُّهُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَتَى ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَخَرَجَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَلْفِ دِينَارٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْمَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ خَطَّابٍ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَلَسْتُ آخُذُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «قَدْ أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَشْيَاءَ بَعَثَنَا فِيهَا فَكَرِهْنَا فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاقْبَلْهَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَا عَلَى دُنْيَاكَ» فَقَبِلَهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ

✧ In the year of al-Ramadiyy, when the land became barren, ‘Umar b. al-Khattab wrote to ‘Amr b. al-‘As: From ‘Abdullah ‘Umar, Commander of the Believers, to ‘Amr b. al-‘As. Al-‘Umari informed me: What do you care if you are fat and those with you are fat, while I and those with me are thin? O help! ‘Amr wrote back: Peace be upon you. To proceed: Labbayk, labbayk. A caravan has come to you whose first is with you and whose last is with me, and I hope to find a way to send by sea. When the first caravan arrived, he called al-Zubayr and said: Go out with the first of this caravan and meet it tomorrow, and carry to every household as much as you can carry to me. For those you cannot carry to, order for every household a camel with its load, and tell them to clothe the people as they have come, and to slaughter the camel, carry its hair, cut its meat into strips, use its skin for sandals, and then take a piece of dried meat, a piece of fat, and a bowl of flour, cook it and eat until Allah brings them provision. Al-Zubayr refused to go out, so he said: By Allah, you will not find the like of it until you leave this world. Then he called another, I think Talhah, and he came. Then he called Abu ‘Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah, and he went out for that. When he returned, he sent him a thousand dinars. Abu ‘Ubaydah said: I did not work for you, O Ibn Khattab; I worked only for Allah, and I will not take anything for that. ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us for things he sent us for, and we disliked it, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ insisted upon us. So accept it, O man, and use it to help you in your worldly affairs. So Abu ‘Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah accepted it.
