بَابُ الإبِلُ عِزٌّ لِأهْلِهَاChapter: Camels Are Honor for Their Owners
Hadith 576
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هِنْدَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، كَمْ عَطَاؤُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَلْفَانِ وَخَمْسُمِئَةٍ، قَالَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، اتَّخِذْ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالسَّابْيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلِيَكُمْ غِلْمَةُ قُرَيْشٍ، لاَ يُعَدُّ الْعَطَاءُ مَعَهُمْ مَالاً.
It is narrated from Abu Zubyan (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "Abu Zubyan! How much stipend do you receive from the treasury?" I said: "Twenty-five hundred." He said: "O Abu Zubyan! Buy farmland and livestock before the reins of power pass into the hands of the youths of Quraysh, for with them, gifts and stipends will have no value."
