Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37177 — The words of Umar bin al-Khattab

It is narrated from al-Hasan, who said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was walking along a road, and with him was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a frail little girl who would now rise and now fall. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Oh, her wretchedness! Oh, who knows this girl? Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! She is one of your own girls. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One of my girls? Sayyiduna Abdullah said: Yes! Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Who is she? Sayyiduna Abdullah said: She is the daughter of Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you, O Abdullah bin Umar! You have ruined her through emaciation. Abdullah said: What are we to do? You have withheld from us what you have. At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: What do I have? Do you find it hard to earn for your daughters as other people earn for their daughters? No, by Allah! I have for you nothing but your (equal) share alongside the other Muslims.
