فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُزَيْزٍ الْأَيْلِيَّ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ سَلَامَةَ بْنِ رَوْحٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّهُ
قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ عَمَلًا، فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ كَرِهْتَهَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَمَا أَنْزَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: لِي أَفْرَاسٌ وَأَعْبُدٌ، وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ، فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ، فَأَقُولُ: أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، فَأَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا، فَقُلْتُ: أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: خُذْ فَتَقَوَّ بِهِ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ، وَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ، وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ

✧ He came to Umar b. al-Khattab during his caliphate, and Umar said to him, "Have I not been told that you take charge of one of the people's tasks, and when you are given the payment you dislike it?" I said, "Yes." Umar said, "What brought you to that?" I said, "I have horses and slaves, and I am well-off. I want my work to be charity for the Muslims." Umar said to him, "Do not do that, for I had wanted what you wanted, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give me a gift, and I would say, 'Give it to someone poorer than me.' Once he gave me some wealth, and I said, 'Give it to someone poorer than me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Take it, and either make use of it or give it in charity. And whatever comes to you of this wealth while you are not covetous or asking, take it. But what does not, do not let your soul pursue it.'"
