حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ثنا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الْمُطْعِمُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ طَلَبْتَ الْخِلَافَةَ، وَإِنَّ الْخِلَافَةَ لَا تَصْلُحُ لِعَيِيٍّ، وَلَا بَخِيلٍ، وَلَا غَيُورٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: «أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الْخِلَافَةِ أَنِّي طَلَبْتُهَا فَمَا طَلَبْتُهَا، وَمَا هِيَ مِنْ بَالِي، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الْعِيِّ، وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْغَيْرَةِ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ جَمَعَ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ بِعَيِيٍّ، وَمَنْ أَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَلَيْسَ بِبَخِيلٍ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا غِرْتُ فِيهِ وَلَدِي أَنْ يُشْرِكَنِي فِيهِ غَيْرِي»
The narrator states: Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf wrote to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): It has reached me that you have sought the caliphate, and the caliphate is not fitting for one who is inarticulate, nor a miser, nor one who is excessively jealous. So Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) wrote to him: "As for what you mentioned about the caliphate, that I sought it, I did not seek it, nor is it on my mind. And as for what you mentioned of inarticulateness, miserliness and jealousy: whoever has gathered the Book of Allah is not inarticulate, and whoever pays the zakah of his wealth is not a miser. As for the jealousy you mentioned, the thing most deserving of my jealousy is my children, that someone other than me should share in them with me."
