Majma al-Zawaid 9173 — What the ruler is entitled to from the public

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ : لَئِنْ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ تَرَكَا هَذَا الْمَالَ لَقَدْ غُبِنَا وَضَلَّ رَأْيُهُمَا - وَايْمُ اللَّهِ - مَا كَانَا مَغْبُونَيْنِ وَلَا نَاقِصَيِ الرَّأْيِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُمَا فَأَخَذْنَاهُ بَعْدَهُمَا لَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا - وَايْمُ اللَّهِ - مَا جَاءَ الْوَهْمُ إِلَّا مِنْ قِبَلِنَا .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "If Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had left this wealth, then they would have been cheated and their judgment would have been at fault. But by Allah! They were neither cheated, nor was their judgment deficient. And if it was not lawful for them, and we take it after them, then we will be ruined. By Allah! The error will then have come from our side alone."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
