"عن عبد اللَّه بن عبيد اللَّه بن عمير، قال: قال عمرُ بن الخطاب: واللَّه لأَزيدَنَّ النَّاسَ ما زاد المالُ، لأعُدَّنَّه لهم عَدًا؛ فإِنْ أعْيانى لأكِيلنَّهُ كَيْلًا، فإِنْ أَعيْانى كَثْرَتُه لأحْثُوَنَّهُ لَهُمْ حَثْوًا بغير حسابٍ؛ هو مالُهم يأخذونه".

'Abd Allah ibn 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Umayr said: "'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'By Allah, I will increase what the people receive as the wealth increases. I will count it for them by number. If that becomes difficult for me, I will measure it for them by measure. If its abundance overwhelms me, I will pour it out for them by handfuls without counting. It is their wealth, they take it.'"
