أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَكِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ حُوَيْطِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ السَّعْدِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَقَالَ

أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَعْمَلُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَتُعْطَى عَلَيْهِ عُمَالَةً فَلَا تَقْبَلُهَا؟ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ إِنَّ لِي أَفْرَاسًا وَأَعْبُدًا وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِينِي الْمَالَ فَأَقُولُ أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَإِنَّهُ أَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا فَقُلْتُ أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ «مَا آتَاكَ اللهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَلَا إِشْرَافٍ فَخُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ»

✧ “Was I not told that you work on some work for the Muslims and are given remuneration for it, but you refuse to accept it?” He said, “Yes, I have horses and slaves and I am well-off, and I want my work to be charity for the Muslims.” Umar said, “I wanted the same as you wanted. The Prophet ﷺ used to give me money and I would say, ‘Give it to someone more in need than me.’ Once he gave me money and I said, ‘Give it to someone more in need than me.’ He said, ‘Whatever Allah gives you of this wealth without you asking or being greedy, take it, and keep it as wealth or give it as charity. And whatever is not like that, do not let your soul pursue it.’”
