"عَنْ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ: كَانَ رجُلٌ فِى أَهْلِ الشامِ مَرْضِيّا، فقال لهُ عُمَرُ: (عَلى) ما يحبك أهل الشام؟ قال: أغازيهم وأواسيهم، فعرض عليه عمر عشرَةَ آلافٍ، قال: خُذْ وَاسْتَعنْ بها في غَزوِك، قال: إنى عنها غنىٌّ، فقال عمر: إن رسول الله ﷺ عرض على بالأدون الذى عزمت عليك، فقلتُ له مثل الذى قلتَ لى، فقال لى: إِذَا آتَاك الله مالًا لم تَسْأَلْهُ أَوْ لمْ تَشْرَهْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُك فاقبله، فإِنما هُوَ رزقُ اللهِ ساقه إِليكَ".

"Aslam said: A man among the people of Syria was well-regarded, and 'Umar said to him: How do the people of Syria love you? He said: I fight alongside them and comfort them. 'Umar offered him ten thousand, and he said: Take it and use it for your raiding. He said: I am content without it. 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered me the same thing that I have offered you, and I said to him what you have said to me. He said to me: When Allah gives you wealth that you did not ask for and your soul was not eager for, then accept it, for it is the provision of Allah that He has sent to you."
