Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22673 — Those who reduced the amount
٢٢٦٧٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن أبي شبيب (١) عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس أن (عمر) (٢) كاتب عبدًا له يكنى أبا أمية، فجاءه بنجمه حين جاء فقال: يا (أبا) (٣) أمية استعن به في مكاتبتك، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، لو تركته حتى يكون في آخر نجم، قال: إني أخاف أن لا أدرك (ذلك) (٤) ثم قرأ: ﴿وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ﴾ (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) made a slave of his, whose kunyah was Abu Umayyah, a mukatab. When he came with his installment, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: O Abu Umayyah, use it to help yourself in your contract. He said: O Commander of the Faithful, what if you left it until the last installment? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I fear that I may not live to see that. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the Qur'anic verse "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you".
