Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36112 — Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

Qays said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Syria when Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him. At that time the commanders of the armies were sitting around Sayyiduna Umar. Sayyiduna Bilal called out: "O Umar!" Sayyiduna Umar said: "Umar is here." Sayyiduna Bilal said to him: "You are between these people and Allah, and there is no one between you and Allah. Look in front of you, behind you, to your right and to your left. These people sitting around you eat nothing but the flesh of birds." Sayyiduna Umar said: "You have spoken the truth. I will not rise from this seat of mine until these people undertake to provide every Muslim man two mudds of grain and their share of vinegar and olive oil." They said: "That is on us, O Commander of the Faithful. Allah Almighty has made provision ample and increased what is good." Sayyiduna Umar said: "Then very well."
