Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5490 — from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Amir bin

Abd al-Rahman bin Sabit narrates from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Amir bin Hidhyam (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: It reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he did not store anything of his needs in his house, so he sent him ten thousand (dirhams). He took the money and began distributing it in purses. His wife asked: "Where are you going with this?" He said: "I am taking it to those who will bring us profit from it," and he kept only a little of it. When what they had ran out, his wife said: "Go to one of your companions to whom you gave the money, who are earning profit for you, and take some of their profits." He kept putting her off and delaying until the matter dragged on, then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If a hur of Paradise were to reveal one of her fingers, every living being would perceive her fragrance." So shall I leave them? Rather, by Allah, you (women) are more deserving that I leave you for their sake than that I leave them for yours.
