Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17780

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ كُلَّمَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً جَلَسَ لِلنَّاسِ ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ كَلَّمَهُ وَإِلَّا قَامَ ، فَحَضَرْتُ الْبَابَ يَوْمًا فَقُلْتُ : يَا يَرْفَأُ ، فَخَرَجَ وَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بِالْبَابِ ، فَخَرَجَ يَرْفَأُ ، فَقَالَ : قُمْ يَا ابْنَ عَفَّانَ ، قُمْ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى عُمَرَ وَعِنْدَهُ صُبُرٌ مِنْ مَالٍ . فَقَالَ : إِنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَرَأَيْتُكُمَا مِنْ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِهَا عَشِيرَةً ، فَخُذَا هَذَا الْمَالَ فَاقْسِمَاهُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ فَضْلٌ فَرُدَّا ، قُلْتُ : وَإِنْ كَانَ نُقْصَانًا زِدْتَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ : شِنْشِنَةُ مِنْ أَخْشَنَ ، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَهْلَهُ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ الْقِدَّ ، قُلْتُ : بَلَى . وَاللَّهِ ، لَوْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ هَذَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ لَصَنَعَ فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَا صَنَعْتَ ، فَغَضِبَ وَانْتَشَجَ حَتَّى اخْتَلَفَتْ أَضْلَاعُهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِذًا صَنَعَ فِيهِ مَاذَا ؟ قُلْتُ : إِذًا أَكَلَ وَأَطْعَمَنَا ، فَسُرِّيَ عَنْهُ . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ جَيِّدٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Whenever Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) finished a prayer, he would sit for the people; whoever had some business with him would speak with him, otherwise he would get up. One day I came to his door and said: "O Yarfa'!" He (the servant) came out, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was also at the door. Then Yarfa' came out and said: "O Ibn Affan! Get up; O Ibn Abbas! Get up (that is, both of you come inside)." We went in to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he had a heap of wealth with him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I looked over the people of Madinah, and I saw that the two of you have the largest families (that is, the most dependants), so take this wealth and distribute it. If any of it is left over, return it." I said: "And if it falls short, will you give us more?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "An old rough waterskin! I know that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family used to eat only a meagre amount." I said: "Yes! By Allah! If Allah Almighty had granted such conquests to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he would have acted differently from the way you have acted." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and his body began to tremble. He said: "What would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have done?" I said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) would have eaten himself and fed us as well." Then Sayyiduna Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) anger subsided.
Bazzar recorded it, and its chain is jayyid (good).
