أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ السَّعْدِيِّ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ أَعْمَالًا فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ كَرِهْتَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ لِي أَفْرَاسًا وَأَعْبُدًا وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ خُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ وَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ .

He came to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ during his Caliphate and 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: I heard that you do some jobs for the people but when payment is given to you, you do not like it. I said: Yes (that is so). He said: Why do you do that? I said: I have horses and slaves and well off, and I wanted my work to be an act of charity toward the Muslims. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: Do not do that. I used to want the same thing as you. The Messenger of Allah used to give me payment and I would say, 'Give it to someone who is more in need of it than I am' until, on one occasion, the Prophet gave me payment and I said: 'Give it to someone who is more in said: Take it and keep it or give it in charity. Wealth when you are not hoping for it and not asking for it, take it, and whatever does not, then do not wish for it. '
