"عن فروُّخ مَولَى عُثمان أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَج ذَاتَ يَومٍ مِنَ المَسْجِد فَرَأى طَعَامًا مُنْتشِرًا عَلَى بَابِ المَسْجدِ فأعْجَبَهُ كَثْرَتُه قَقالَ: مَا هذا الطَّعَامُ؟ قَالُوا: طَعُامٌ جُلِبَ إِلْينَا، فَقالَ: بَارَكَ اللَّه فِيهِ وفِيمن جَلَبَهُ إِلَيْنَا، فَقالَ لَه بَعْض أصْحَابِه الذين يَمْشُون معَه: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤمِنينَ إِنَّه قَد احْتُكِرَ، قَالَ: وَمَنِ احْتَكَرهُ؟ قَالُوا: فُلانٌ مَوْلَى عُثْمانَ، وفُلَانٌ مَوَلاكَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إلَيهما فقَال لَهُمَا: مَا حَمَلكُما عَلَى أَنْ تَحْتَكِرَا طَعَامَ المُسْلِمينَ؟ قَالَا: يا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنينَ نَشْتَرِى بَأَمْوالِنَا ونَبيعُ إِذَا شِئْنَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ يَقُولُ: "مَن احْتَكَرَ طَعَامًا عَلَى المُسْلِمَين ضَرَبهُ اللَّه بالإِفْلاسِ وَالجُذَامِ؛ قَالَ فَرُّوخ: يا أمير المؤمنين أُعَاهدُ اللَّه أَن لا أَعُودَ فِى طَعَامٍ بَعْدَ هَذَا أبَدًا، وَأَمَّا مَوْلَى عُمرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أمِير المُؤْمِنينَ: أَمْوالُنَا نَشْتَرِى بها إِذَا شِيْنَا وَنَبِيعُ إِذَا شئْنَا، فَزَعمَ أَبُو يَحْيَى أَنَّه رَأَى مَوْلَى عُمَرَ مَجْذُومًا مَجْدُوعًا".

"Farrukh, the client of 'Uthman, narrated that 'Umar went out one day from the mosque and saw food spread out at the door of the mosque, and its abundance pleased him. He said: 'What is this food?' They said: 'It is food that has been brought to us.' He said: 'May Allah bless it and whoever brought it to us.' One of his companions walking with him said: 'O Commander of the Believers, it has been hoarded.' He said: 'And who hoarded it?' They said: 'So-and-so, the client of 'Uthman, and so-and-so, your client.' He sent for them and said to them: 'What led you to hoard the food of the Muslims?' They said: 'O Commander of the Believers, we buy with our wealth and sell when we wish.' 'Umar said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever hoards food against the Muslims, Allah will afflict him with bankruptcy and leprosy.' Farrukh said: 'O Commander of the Believers, I covenant with Allah that I will never return to hoarding food after this, ever.' As for the client of 'Umar, he said: 'O Commander of the Believers, our wealth, we buy with it when we wish and sell when we wish.' Abu Yahya claimed that he saw the client of 'Umar leprous and mutilated."
