أخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ قَالَ
اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ أَمَرَ لِيَ بِعُمَالَةٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَمَلِي مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ 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 for me an allowance. I said to him: I only worked for Allah, and my reward is with Allah. He said: Take what you are given, for I said to my worker at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the like of what you said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When you are given something without your asking, then eat it and give charity from it.”
