Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35123 — What they said on the governor's
٣٥١٢٣ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن حارثة بن مضرب العبدي قال: قال عمر: إني أنزلت نفسي من مال اللَّه منزلة (مال) (١) اليتيم، إن ⦗٣١٣⦘ استغنيت (عنه) (٢) استعففت، وإن افتقرت أكلت بالمعروف (٣).
Harithah bin Mudarrib al-Abdi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, I have placed myself, with regard to the wealth of Allah, at the rank of the guardian of an orphan's wealth. If I am free of need of it, I abstain from it, and if I am in need of it, I eat from it in a fair manner."
