Hadith 2365
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُزَيْرٍ الأَيْلِيُّ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ سَلامَةَ بْنَ رَوْحٍ ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي خِلافَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : أَلَمْ أُحَدِّثْ إِنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ عَمَلا ، فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ كَرِهْتَهَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ : بَلَى ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَمَا أَنْزَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لِي أَفْرَاسٌ وَأَعْبُدٌ ، وَأَنَا بِخَيْرٍ ، فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةٌ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : فَلا تَفْعَلْ ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَدْتُ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ ، فَأَقُولُ أَعْطِهِ أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خُذْ فَتَقَوَّ بِهِ ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ ، وَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ ، وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ ، وَلا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ ، وَمَا لا فَلا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ "
Hazrat Abdullah bin Sa’d bin Abi Sarh narrates that he presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, “Has it not been told to me that you perform public service, and then when you are given wages, you do not like to take them?” I replied, “Yes, I do so.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, “Why do you not take the wages?” I submitted, “I have horses and slaves, and I am blessed with abundance, so I wish that my action becomes charity for the Muslims.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Do not do so, because I also wished to do as you wish, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would give me wealth. I would say, ‘Give it to someone who is more in need than me.’ So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Take it, gain strength from it, or give it in charity. And whatever wealth comes to you without greed and without asking, take it, and do not let your heart be attached to what you do not get (do not covet it).’”
