(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ابْنُ أُخْتِ نَمِرٍ ، أَنَّ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ السَّعْدِيِّ أَخْبَرَهُ : أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ أَعْمَالًا ، فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ ، كَرِهْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : بَلَى ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَمَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : إِنَّ لِي أَفْرَاسًا وَأَعْبُدًا ، وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ ، وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ عَمَالَتِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَلَا تَفْعَلْ ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ ، فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ ، فَأَقُولُ : أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي ، حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي مَرَّةً مَالًا ، فَقُلْتُ : أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ ، وَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ ، فَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ ، وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ ، وَلَا سَائِلٍ ، فَخُذْهُ ، وَمَا لَا ، فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ " .
Once, Abdullah bin Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) came to see Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) during the caliphate of Farooq. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he said: "Are you the one about whom I have been told that you have been entrusted with some responsibility over the public, but when you are given its salary, you express dislike in taking it?" Abdullah says, I replied: "Yes, that is so." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "What is your intention in this?" I replied: "By the grace of Allah, I have horses and slaves and everything, and I am also financially well-off, so I wish that my salary be used for the works of the Muslims." Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do not do so, because once I also wished the same. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to give me something, I would say: 'O Messenger of Allah! There are people more in need than me, please give it to them.' Similarly, once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me some wealth, and as before, I said: 'Please give it to someone more needy than me.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Take it, add it to your wealth, then give charity from it. And remember! If wealth comes to you without your desire and request, then take it, otherwise do not pursue it.'"
