"عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا بِبَابِ عُمَرَ، فَخَرَجَتْ جَاريَة فَقُلْنَا: سُرِّيَّةُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَسَمِعَتْ فَقَالَتْ: مَا أَنَا بِسُرِّيَّةِ (أمِير) المُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَا أحِلُّ لَهُ، إنِّى لَمِنْ مَالِ اللَّه، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: صدَقَتْ، وَسَأخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا أَسْتَحِلُّ مِنْ هَذَا المَالِ، أسْتَحِلُّ مِنْهُ حُلَّتَين: حُلَّةً لِلشِّتَاء وَحُلَّةً لِلصَّيْفِ، وَمَا يَسَعُنِى لِحَجِّى وَعُمْرَتِى، وَقُوتِى وَقُوتِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِى، وسَهْمِى مَعَ المُسلِمِينَ كَسَهْمِ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ بَأَرْفَعِهِمْ وَلَا أَوْضَعِهِمْ".

"It is narrated from al-Ahnaf ibn Qays that he said: We were sitting at the door of 'Umar when a slave girl came out, and we said: The slave girl of the Commander of the Faithful. She heard and said: I am not the slave girl of the Commander of the Faithful, and he is not lawful to me. I am from the wealth of Allah. This was mentioned to 'Umar, and he said: She has spoken the truth. I will tell you what I take lawfully from this wealth: I take two garments from it, a garment for winter and a garment for summer, and what suffices me for my Hajj and my 'Umrah, and the sustenance of me and the people of my household. My share with the Muslims is like the share of a man who is neither the highest of them nor the lowest."
