"عن عبد الله بن أبى بكر قال: جاء بلال بن الحارث المزنى إلى رسول الله ﷺ فاستقطعه أرضًا فقطعها له طويلة عريضة، فلما ولى عمر قال: يا بلال! إنك استقطعت رسول الله ﷺ أرضًا عريضة فقطعها، وإن رسول الله ﷺ لم يكن يمنع شيئًا يسأله، وإنك لا تطيق ما في يديك (فقال: أجل، قال: فانظر ما قَوِيتَ عليه منها) فأَمسكه، وما لم تطق فادفعه إلينا نقسمه بين المسلمين، فقال: لا أفعل والله؛ شَئٌ أقطعنيه رسول الله ﷺ فقال عمر: والله لتفعلن منه ما عجز عن عمارته فقسمه بين المسلمين".

"'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said: Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for land as a grant, and he granted him a long, wide piece. When 'Umar came to power, he said: O Bilal! You asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a wide piece of land, and he granted it to you, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never refused anything he was asked. You cannot manage what is in your hands. [Bilal] said: Indeed. ['Umar] said: Look at what you are able to cultivate of it and keep it, and what you cannot manage, return it to us and we will divide it among the Muslims. He said: No, by Allah, I will not do so; it is something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted me. 'Umar said: By Allah, you will surely do so, by giving up what you cannot cultivate, so that he divided it among the Muslims."
