اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّعْدِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ : أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ أَعْمَالًا ، فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ لَمْ تَقْبَلْهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَمَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَنَا غَنِيٌّ ، لِي أَعْبُدٌ وَلِي أَفْرَاسٌ ، أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، قَالَ : لَا تَفْعَلْ ، فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تَفْعَلُ ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ ، فَأَقُولُ : أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي ، فَقَالَ : " خُذْهُ ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَمَوَّلَهُ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ ، وَمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ ، وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ لَهُ وَلَا سَائِلِهِ فَخُذْهُ ، وَمَا لَا ، فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ " .
Once, Abdullah bin Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) came to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) during the caliphate of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). When 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 common people, but when you are given its salary, you express dislike in taking it?" Abdullah says, "I replied, 'Yes, that is so.'" 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." Umar (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.'"
