"عن مالك بن أوس: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَخَذَ أَرْبَعَمائَة دينَارٍ فَجَعَلَهَا فِى صُرَّة، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلغُلَام، اذْهَبْ بهَا إِلَى أَبِى عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الجَرَّحِ، ثُمَّ تَلَهَّ فِى الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ مَا يَصْنَعُ، فَذَهَبَ بِهَا الْغُلَامُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَقُولُ لَكَ أمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: اجْعَلْ هَذِهِ فِى بَعْضِ حَوَائِجِكَ، فَقَالَ: وَصَلَهُ اللَّه وَرَحمَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: تَعَالَىْ يَا جَارِيَةُ! اذْهَبِى بِهَذِهِ السبعة إِلَى فُلَانٍ، وَبِهَذِهِ الْخَمْسَةِ إِلَى فُلَانٍ حَتَّى أَنْفَدَهَا فَرَجَعَ الْغُلَامُ إِلَى عُمَر فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ أعَدَّ مِثْلَهَا لِمُعَاذِ بِنِ جَبِلٍ فَقَالَ: اذهَبْ إِلَى مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبِلٍ وتَلَةَّ فِى الْبَيْتِ سَاعَةً حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ مَا يَصْنَعُ، فَذَهَبَ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَقُولُ لَكَ أمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: اجْعَلْ هَذهِ فِى بَعْضِ حَاجَتِكَ، فقال: وَصَلَهُ اللَّه وَرَحِمَهُ! تَعَالَىْ يَا جَارِيَةُ، اذْهَبِى إِلَى فُلَانٍ بِكَذَا، أَوْ إِلَى بَيْتِ فُلَانٍ بِكَذَا، فَاطلَّعَتِ امْرَأةُ مُعَاذٍ وَنَحْنُ وَاللَّه مَسَاكِينُ! فَأعْطِنَا، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِى الْخِرْقَةِ إِلَّا دِينَارانِ فَمَدَّهمَا بِهِمَا، فَرَجع الْغُلَامُ إلَى عُمَرَ فَأخْبَرَهُ، فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّهُم إِخْوَةٌ بَعْضُهُم مِنْ بَعْضِ".

"From Malik ibn Aws: that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab took four hundred dinars and placed them in a purse. Then he said to the boy: 'Go with them to Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, then linger in the house until you see what he does.' The boy went with them to him and said: 'The Commander of the Believers says to you: Put this toward some of your needs.' He said: 'May Allah connect him and have mercy on him.' Then he said: 'Come here, O slave girl! Take this seven to so-and-so, and this five to so-and-so,' until he had spent them all. The boy returned to 'Umar and informed him. He found that he had prepared the same amount for Mu'adh ibn Jabal, so he said: 'Go to Mu'adh ibn Jabal, and linger in the house for a while until you see what he does.' He went with them to him and said: 'The Commander of the Believers says to you: Put this toward some of your needs.' He said: 'May Allah connect him and have mercy on him! Come here, O slave girl, take this to so-and-so, or to the house of so-and-so, with such-and-such.' Mu'adh's wife looked out and said: 'By Allah, we are poor! Give us something!' Nothing remained in the cloth except two dinars, so he gave them to her. The boy returned to 'Umar and informed him, and 'Umar was pleased by that and said: 'They are brothers, some of them from others.'"
