Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37379 — The words of Ibn Umar

It is narrated from Maymun; he said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), together with some of his companions, visited Abdullah bin Amir while he was ill, and people thought that he would die. The people said to him: "Glad tidings to you, for you have had many pools built at Arafat from which the pilgrims of the House of Allah will drink, and you have had wells dug in the wilderness." The narrator said: The people mentioned many good things. The narrator said: Then the people said: "If Allah wills, we hope for good for you." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) sat in silence. When he was slow to speak, Abdullah bin Amir said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, what do you say?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When earnings are pure, spending is good. And soon you will arrive, and then you will know."
