قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ، ثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْعَدَوِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ:
دَعَانِي عُمَرُ ؓ فَإِذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ نَطْعٌ عَلَيْهِ ذَهَبٌ مَنْثُورٌ نَثْرَ الْحَثَا، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ: وَالْحَثَا: التِّبْنُ، فَقَالَ: هَلُمَّ فَاقْسِمْ بَيْنَ قَوْمِكَ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ حِينَ حَبَسَ هَذَا عَنْ نَبِيِّهِ وَعَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَخَيْرًا أَرَادَ أَمْ شَرًّا ؟ فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَبْكِي، وَيَقُولُ فِي بُكَائِهِ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا حَبَسَهُ عَنْ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ وَعَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ إِرَادَةَ الشَّرِّ بِهِمَا وَأَعْطَانِيهِ إِرَادَةَ الْخَيْرِ بِي

✧ 'Umar ؓ summoned me, and there before him was a leather mat on which gold was scattered like chaff. Ibn 'Abbas ؓ said: And al-hatha is straw. He said: Come, divide it among your people. Allah knows best whether, in withholding this from His Prophet and from Abu Bakr, He intended good or evil. Then 'Umar ؓ began to weep, and he said in his weeping: By the One in Whose hand is my soul, He did not withhold it from His Prophet ﷺ and from Abu Bakr ؓ intending evil for them, but He gave it to me intending good for me.
