“From 'Amr ibn Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Umawi, from his grandfather, that Sa'id ibn al-'As came to 'Umar asking him to increase his share of the house in al-Balat and the plots of his paternal uncles with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'Umar said: “Pray the morning prayer with me, and we will walk, then remind me of your need.” He said: “So I did. When he had finished, I said: ‘O Commander of the Believers, increase it for me, for a new generation from my children and family is growing up around me.’” He said: “I suppose that you and your sister are with [me] in that whoever succeeds me will be one who joins your kinship ties and fulfils your need.” So Sa'id remained during the caliphate of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab until 'Uthman succeeded him, and he connected me and was kind, fulfilled my need and made me a partner in his trust.”
