Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1796b
"عن ابن عباس قال: دعانى عمر بن الخطاب فَأَتَيْتُه فإذا بين يديه نِطعٌ عَلَيه الذَّهَب مَنْثُورٌ، قال: هَلُمَّ فاقْسِمْ هذا بين قومك، فاللَّه أعْلَمُ حيثُ زَوَى هذا عن نبيه ﷺ وعن أَبى بكر، فأُعْطِيتُه لخيرٍ أم أُعْطيته لشرٍّ، ثم بكى وقال: كلا، والذى نفسى بيدِه ما حبَسَه عن نبيه وعن أَبى بكر إرادةَ الشَّرِّ بهما، وأعطاه عمرَ إرادةَ الخير لَه".

Ibn 'Abbas said: "'Umar ibn al-Khattab called me, so I came to him, and in front of him there was a leather mat with gold scattered upon it. He said: 'Come, divide this among your people. Allah knows best where He withheld this from His Prophet ﷺ and from Abu Bakr. Was it given to me for good or was it given to me for evil?' Then he wept and said: 'No, by Him in whose hand is my soul, what withheld it from His Prophet and from Abu Bakr was not an intention of harm toward them, and what He gave to 'Umar was not an intention of good for him.'"
