"عن الحكم بن أَبى الْعَاصِ قال: قال لى عمر بن الخطاب: هل قبلكم مُتَّجِرٌ؟ فإن عندى مالَ يتيمٍ قد كادت الزكاةُ تأتى عَلَيه، قلت له: نعم، فدفع إلىَّ عشرةَ آلافٍ، فَغِبتُ عَنْه ما شاء اللَّه ثم رجعتُ إليه، فقال: ما فعل المالُ؟ قلت: هو ذا قد بلغ مائةَ ألفٍ، قال: رد علينا مالَنا لا حاجة لنا به".

"Al-Hakam ibn Abi al-'As said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to me: 'Is there a trader among you? I have the wealth of an orphan which zakat is about to consume.' I said: 'Yes.' So he gave me ten thousand, and I was away with it for as long as Allah willed. Then I returned to him, and he said: 'What became of the wealth?' I said: 'Here it is, it has reached one hundred thousand.' He said: 'Return our wealth to us; we have no need of it.'"
