حَدَّثَنَا
قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ
بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ
بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : اسْتَعْمَلَنِي
عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ ، أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَمَّلَنِي ، فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ فَكُلْ وَتَصَدَّقْ " ،
Ibn al-Sa'di Maliki reported: 'Umar bin Khattab (RA) appointed me as a collector of Sadaqa. When I had finished that (the task assigned to me) and I handed over that to him (to 'Umar), he commanded me to (accept) some remuneration (for the work). I said: I performed this duty for Allah and my reward is with Allah. He said: Take whatever has been given to you, for I also performed this duty during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He assigned me the task of a collector and I said as you say, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: When you are given anything without your begging for it, (then accept it), eat it and give it in charity.
