أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا فَقُلْتُ أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ «خُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ وَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ وَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ»

✧ I heard Umar say, "The Prophet ﷺ used to give me gifts, and I would say, 'Give it to someone who is poorer than me,' until one time he gave me wealth, and I said, 'Give it to someone who is poorer than me.' He 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.'"
