قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَكِينَةَ الْحِمْصِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ : إِنَّ عُمَرَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَدِمَ الْجَابِيَةَ ، جَابِيَةَ دِمَشْقَ ، فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ : أَلَا إِذَا انْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا ، فَلَا يَبْقَيَنَّ أَحَدٌ لَهُ حَقٌّ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ إِلَّا أَتَانِي ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِمَّنْ حَضَرَهُ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَأُعْطِيَا ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : أَصْلَحَ اللهُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَا هَذَا الْغَنِيُّ الْمُتَفَقِّدُ بِأَحَقَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَقِيرِ الْمُتَعَفِّفِ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : وَيْحَكَ ، وَكَيْفَ لَنَا بِأُولَئِكَ ؟
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman that Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) came to al-Jabiyah, in the region of Damascus, and stood up to deliver an address. The narrator then mentioned the whole hadith, until he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Take heed! When I leave this place of mine, let no one who has a right to charity remain without coming to me." Yet of those present, only two men came to him. He (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an order concerning them, and they were given wealth. Then a man stood up and said: "Aslaha Allahu amir al-mu'minin" (May Allah set right the affairs of the Commander of the Faithful), this wealthy man who has come seeking out his own share is surely no more deserving of charity than this modest poor man who, out of chastity and shame, refrains from asking? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Woe to you! (We are giving to those who have come forward,) but how are we to reach those (secluded and hidden poor) people (who do not make their need known)?"
