عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ لِمَ قُلْتُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ قَالَ هُمَا الْمَرْآنِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا
It is narrated from Abu Wa'il, he says: I was sitting in the Prophet's Mosque with Shaibah bin Uthman when Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sat near me just as you are sitting. He said: I wish to distribute all the gold and silver inside the Ka'bah among the Muslims. I said: You will not do this. He said: Why? I said: This was not done by your two companions before you. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Both of them are personalities who should be followed.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In any case, the desire of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was that the treasures of the Ka‘bah be spent in the way of Allah, as is narrated from Sayyidah A’ishah radi Allahu anha. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “If it were not that your people are newly removed from the Age of Ignorance—or he said, from disbelief—I would have spent the treasure of the Ka‘bah in the path of Allah, and I would have made its door level with the ground, and I would have included the Hijr within it.” (Sahih Muslim: 2369)
