قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَكِينَةَ الْحِمْصِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ:

إِنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ قَدِمَ الْجَابِيَةَ، جَابِيَةَ دِمَشْقَ، فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ: أَلَا إِذَا انْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا، فَلَا يَبْقَيَنَّ أَحَدٌ لَهُ حَقٌّ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ إِلَّا أَتَانِي، فَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِمَّنْ حَضَرَهُ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَأُعْطِيَا، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: أَصْلَحَ اللهُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا هَذَا الْغَنِيُّ الْمُتَفَقِّدُ بِأَحَقَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَقِيرِ الْمُتَعَفِّفِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: وَيْحَكَ، وَكَيْفَ لَنَا بِأُولَئِكَ ؟

✧ Umar ؓ came to al-Jabiyah, the Jabiyah of Damascus, and stood as a preacher. He mentioned the hadith until he said: "Indeed, when I leave this place of mine, no one who has a right in charity should remain except that he comes to me." Only two men of those present came to him, so he ordered that they be given. A man stood and said: "May God keep the Commander of the Believers righteous. This rich man who checks on others is not more entitled to charity than this poor man who abstains." Umar ؓ said: "Woe to you! How can we reach those?"
