حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ ... قَالَ : كَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالُوا : مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا أَنْ يَتْرُكَ لِوَلَدِهِ مَالًا يَبْقَى بَعْدَهُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنَا أُفَرِّجُ عَنْكُمْ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا وَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ ثَوْبَانُ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَبُرَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَّا لِيُطَيِّبَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِكُمْ ، وَإِنَّمَا فَرَضَ الْمَوَارِيثَ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ لِتَبْقَى لِمَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ ، قَالَ : فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا يَكْنِزُ الْمَرْءُ ؟ الْمَرْأَةَ الصَّالِحَةَ ؛ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ ، وَإِذَا أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ ، وَإِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا حَفِظَتْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this blessed verse, "Those who hoard gold and silver", was revealed, it weighed very heavily on the Muslims, and they said (in distress): "Now none of us is able to leave behind for his children wealth that will remain after him." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will resolve this difficulty for you." So he set off, and Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) followed close behind him, until they came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "O Prophet of Allah! This verse has weighed very heavily on your Companions." The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty made zakah obligatory only so that it would purify the rest of your wealth, and He laid down the rulings of inheritance in wealth only so that it would remain (as a legacy) for those who come after you." The narrator said: At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said "Allahu Akbar" (out of joy). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Shall I not tell you of the best thing a man can store up? It is a righteous woman: when her husband looks at her, she pleases him; when he gives her an instruction, she obeys him; and when he is away from her (on a journey or out of the house), she guards (herself and her husband's property)."
