"عَنْ أَبِى أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ: مَكَثَ عُمَرُ زَمَانًا لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْمَالِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْه فِى ذَلِكَ خَصَاصَةٌ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ فَقَالَ: قَدْ شَغَلْتُ نَفْسِى في هَذَا الأَمْرِ، فَمَا يَصْلُحُ لِى مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفانٍ: كُلْ وَأَطْعِمْ، وَقَالَ ذَلِكَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ، وَقَالَ لعِلىٍّ: مَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ في ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: غَدَاءً وَعَشَاءً، فَأَخَذَ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ".

"It was narrated from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf that he said: 'Umar remained for a time not eating anything from the wealth, until he came to suffer hardship because of that. He sent for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and consulted them, and said: I have occupied myself with this matter, so what is permissible for me from it? 'Uthman ibn 'Affan said: Eat and feed (others). Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl said the same. Then he said to 'Ali: What do you say about that? He said: Morning and evening meals. So 'Umar acted upon that."
