Majma al-Zawaid 9169 — What the ruler is entitled to from the public
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ - قَالَ حَسَنٌ : يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى - فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا خَزِيرَةً فَقُلْتُ : أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ لَوْ قَرَّبْتَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْبَطِّ - يَعْنِي الْوِزَّ - فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - قَدْ أَكْثَرَ الْخَيْرَ . فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ زُرَيْرٍ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " لَا يَحِلُّ لِلْخَلِيفَةِ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا قَصْعَتَانِ قَصْعَةٌ يَأْكُلُهَا هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ وَقَصْعَةٌ يَضَعُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ " .

Abdullah bin Zurayr narrates that he went to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) (the narrator named Hasan stated: this was on the day of Eid al-Adha). He placed khazirah (a dish of meat and flour) before us, so I said: "May Allah Almighty keep you well! If you had placed this 'batt' (duck) before us (to eat), (it would have been more fitting), for Allah Almighty has granted abundant good." He said: "O Ibn Zurayr! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Nothing of the wealth of Allah is lawful for a caliph except two bowls: one bowl which he and his family eat, and one bowl which he places before the people.'"
This narration has been recorded by Imam Ahmad. Its chain contains one narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah; his hadith is hasan (good), and there is weakness in it.
