"عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ لَمْ يَزَلْ بَالْجَنَدِ ()، إِذْ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ (إِلَى الْيَمَنِ حَتَّى مَاتَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ) ( ) وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ، فَرَدّهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاذٌ بِثُلُثِ صَدَقَةِ النَّاسِ، فَأَنْكَرَ ذلك ( ) عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: لَمْ أَبْعَثْكَ جَابِيًا وَلا آخِذَ جِزْيَةٍ وَلَكِنْ بَعَثْتُكَ لِتَأخُذَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَاءِ النَّاسِ (فَتَرُدَّها على فُقَرَائهِمْ) ( )، قَالَ مُعَاذٌ: مَا بَعَثْتُ إِليكَ بِشَىْءٍ وَأَنَا أَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَأخُذُهُ مِنِّى، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الثَّانِى بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ شَطْرَ الصَّدقَةِ، فَتَراجَعَا مِثْل ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الثَّالِثُ بَعَثَ إَليْهِ بِهَا كُلِّهَا، فَرَاجَعَهُ عُمَرُ بِمِثْلِ مَا رَاجَعَهُ قَبْلَ (ذَلِكَ) فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: مَا وَجَدْتُ أَحَدًا يَأْخُذُ مِنِّى شَيْئًا".

"On the authority of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb that Mu'adh ibn Jabal remained in al-Janad when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Yemen, until the Prophet ﷺ died () and Abu Bakr (died), then he came to Umar, who returned him to what he had been doing. Mu'adh sent him a third of the people's charity (sadaqah). Umar disapproved () and said: 'I did not send you as a tax collector or a collector of jizyah, but I sent you to take from the wealthy of the people (and return it to their poor) (),' Mu'adh said: 'I did not send you anything while I could find anyone to take it from me.' In the second year he sent him half of the charity, and they exchanged similar words. In the third year he sent him all of it, and Umar answered him with the same as before. Mu'adh said: 'I have found no one who will take anything from me.'"
