أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ السَّعْدِيِّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ فَقَالَ

عُمَرُ أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ أَعْمَالًا فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ كَرِهْتَهَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَمَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي أَفْرَاسًا وَأَعْبُدًا وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ عَمَالتِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا فَقُلْتُ أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «خُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ وَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ»

✧ Umar said, "Was I not told that you take charge of some of the people's affairs, and when the compensation is given to you, you dislike it?" He said, "I said, 'Yes.'" He said, "So what do you want with that?" I said, "I have horses and servants, and I am well off, so I want my compensation to be a charity for the Muslims." Umar said, "Do not do that, for I had wanted what you wanted. The Prophet ﷺ used to give me gifts, and I would say, 'Give it to someone poorer than me,' until one time he gave me wealth, and I said, 'Give it to someone poorer than me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Take it, keep it as your own wealth, and give charity from it. Whatever comes to you of this wealth without you aspiring for it or asking for it, take it; otherwise, do not let your soul pursue it.'"
