Hadith 9811

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَسْأَلُهُ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَإِلَى رِجْلَيْهِ أُخْرَى هَلْ يَرَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ كَمْ مَالُكَ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَابْتَغَى الثَّالِثَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْتُ هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَنِيهَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ فَمُرْ بِنَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا قَالَ أُبَيٌّ هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَفَأُثْبِتُهَا قَالَ فَأَثْبِتْهَا
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to ask a question to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He would sometimes look at the man's head and sometimes at his feet, wanting to see any sign of poverty on him. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the man: "How much wealth do you have?" He replied: "Forty camels." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth, that if the son of Adam had two valleys of gold, he would seek a third, and only dust fills the belly of the son of Adam. However, Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is this that you are narrating?" I said: "Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) taught me exactly like this." He said: "Order him to come to us." So Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "What do they say regarding you?" Sayyiduna Ubayy said: "Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me exactly like this." He said: "Should I establish these words?" He said: "Yes, do so."
