حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا أَنْ نَتَصَدَّقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ مَالًا عِنْدِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ الْيَوْمَ أَسْبِقُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنْ سَبَقْتُهُ يَوْمًا فَجِئْتُ بِنِصْفِ مَالِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مِثْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَتَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِكُلِّ مَا عِنْدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَبْقَيْتُ لَهُمُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أُسَابِقُكَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَبَدًا.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded us one day to give sadaqah. At that time I had some property. I said: Today I shall surpass Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ if I surpass him any day. I, therefore, brought half my property. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked: What did you leave for your family? I replied: The same amount. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ brought all that he had with him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked him: What did you leave for your family? He replied: I left Allah and His Messenger for them. I said: I shall never compete you in anything.
