قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، ؓ يَقُولُ:
كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً جَلَسَ لِلنَّاسِ لِمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ حَاجَةٌ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ. قَالَ: فَصَلَّى صَلَوَاتٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ لِلنَّاسِ فِيهِنَّ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ: فَحَضَرْتُ الْبَابَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا يَرْفَأُ، أَبِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَكَاةٌ ؟ قَالَ: مَا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ شَكْوَى، فَجَلَسْتُ فَجَاءَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَجَلَسَ فَخَرَجَ يَرْفَأُ، فَقَالَ: قُمْ يَا ابْنَ عَفَّانَ، قُمْ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ. فَدَخَلَا عَلَى عُمَرَ ؓ، فَإِذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ صُبَرٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ صُبْرَةٍ مِنْهَا كَتِفٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: إِنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَوَجَدْتُكُمَا مِنْ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِهَا عَشِيرَةً، فَخُذَا هَذَا الْمَالَ، فَاقْسِمَاهُ، فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَرُدَّا. قَالَ: فَأَمَّا عُثْمَانُ ؓ فَحَثَا، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَجَثَوْتُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيَّ فَقُلْتُ: وَإِنْ كَانَ نُقْصَانًا رَدَدْتَ عَلَيْنَا ؟ فَقَالَ: شَنْشَنَةٌ مِنْ أَخْشَنَ، يَعْنِي حَجَرًا مِنْ جَبَلٍ، أَمَا كَانَ هَذَا عِنْدَ اللهِ إِذْ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ يَأْكُلُونَ الْقَدَّ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ هَذَا عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَيٌّ، وَلَوْ عَلَيْهِ فُتِحَ لَصَنَعَ فِيهِ غَيْرَ الَّذِي تَصْنَعُ. فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ ؓ وَقَالَ

He said: There is no complaint from the Commander of the Believers. So I sat, and Uthman b. Affan ؓ came and sat. Yarfa came out and said: Rise, O Ibn Affan; rise, O Ibn Abbas. They entered upon Umar ؓ, and behold, before him were heaps of wealth, upon each heap a shoulder (of meat). Umar ؓ said: I looked into the people of Madinah and found you two among the most numerous of its people in kinsfolk. Take this wealth and divide it; whatever is surplus, return it. He said: As for Uthman ؓ, he scooped, but as for me, I knelt on my knees and said: And if there is a deficit, will you return to us?
