"عن سيفِ بن عُمَر، عَن زُهْرَة، عَن أَبى سَلَمَة ومُحمد، والمُهلَّب، وَطَلْحَةَ قَالُوا: لَمَّا أَعْطى عُمَر أَوَّلَ عَطاءٍ أَعْطَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ سَنَةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ، فَلَما دَعَا صَفْوَان بنَ أمَيَّةَ وَقَدْ رَأَى مَا أَخَذَ أَهْلُ بَدْرٍ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهم إلَى الفَتْحِ فَأَعْطَاه فِى أَهْلِ الفَتْح أَقَلَّ مِمَّا أَخَذَ مَنْ كَان قَبْلَه أَبَى أن يقبَلَهُ وَقَالَ: يا أَمِير المُؤمِنينَ! لَسْتُ مُعْتَرِفًا لأن يكون أكرم منى أحد، ولستُ آخذُ أقلَّ مما أخذ من هو دونى! أو مَنْ هو مثلى، فقال: إِنَّما أعطيتهم على السَّابِقَة والقِدْمَة فِى الإسلَام لَا عَلَى الأَحْسَابِ، قَالَ: فنَعمْ إذَنْ، فَأَخَذ وقَالَ: أهلُ ذلك هُمْ".

"From Sayf ibn 'Umar, from Zuhrah, from Abu Salamah and Muhammad and al-Muhallab and Talhah, who said: When 'Umar gave the first stipend he gave, that was in the fifteenth year, when he called Safwan ibn Umayyah, and he had seen what the people of Badr and those after them up to the Conquest had taken. He gave him for the people of the Conquest less than what those before him had taken, and he refused to accept it and said: 'O Commander of the Believers! I am not content that anyone should be more honorable than me, and I will not take less than what someone lower than me or like me has taken!' He said: 'I have given them for precedence and seniority in Islam, not for lineage.' He said: 'Then yes,' and he took it and said: 'They deserve that.'"
