(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
حَسَنٌ ،
وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هاشم ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَيْرٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى
عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ : يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى ، فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا خَزِيرَةً ، فَقُلْتُ : أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ ، لَوْ قَرَّبْتَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْبَطِّ ، يَعْنِي : الْوَزَّ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَكْثَرَ الْخَيْرَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ زُرَيْرٍ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَا يَحِلُّ لِلْخَلِيفَةِ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا قَصْعَتَانِ : قَصْعَةٌ يَأْكُلُهَا هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ ، وَقَصْعَةٌ يَضَعُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ النَّاسِ " .
Abdullah bin Zareer says that once I was present in the service of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he presented khazeerah (a dish of meat and bread) before us. I casually said, "May Allah bless you, what would have happened if you had presented duck before us? Now Allah has also bestowed abundance of war booty." He replied, "Ibn Zareer! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that only two bowls are lawful for the caliph from Allah's wealth: one bowl from which he and his family may eat, and the other bowl which he presents before the people."
