Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 6244

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib narrates from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that al-Harith bin al-Barsa' came to him in the market and said to him: O Abu Ishaq! I heard Marwan claiming that the wealth of Allah is his own wealth; he gives it to whomever he wishes and withholds it from whomever he wishes. Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did you yourself hear him say this?" He said: Yes. Sa'id says: Then Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) took my hand and the hand of al-Harith until he reached Marwan, and asked: "O Marwan! Do you claim that the wealth of Allah is your wealth, that you give it to whomever you wish and withhold it from whomever you wish?" He said: Yes. He said: "Then I will supplicate," and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his hands. At that Marwan sprang towards him and said: "I adjure you by Allah not to supplicate; it is the wealth of Allah; He gives it to whomever He wishes and withholds it from whomever He wishes."
