أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، ثنا يُونُسُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ بِلَالُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا، فَقَطَعَهَا لَهُ طَوِيلَةً عَرِيضَةً، فَلَمَّا وَلِيَ عُمَرُ قَالَ لَهُ: " يَا بِلَالُ، إِنَّكَ اسْتَقْطَعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضًا طَوِيلَةً عَرِيضَةً قَطَعَهَا لَكَ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَمْنَعَ شَيْئًا يُسْأَلُهُ، وَإِنَّكَ لَا تُطِيقُ مَا فِي يَدَيْكَ " فَقَالَ: أَجَلْ، قَالَ: " فَانْظُرْ مَا قَوِيتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا فَأَمْسِكْهُ، وَمَا لَمْ تُطِقْ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْنَا نَقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " فَقَالَ: لَا أَفْعَلُ وَاللهِ، شَيْءٌ أَقْطَعَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " وَاللهِ لَتَفْعَلَنَّ " فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ مَا عَجَزَ عَنْ عِمَارَتِهِ فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Bilal bin al-Harith al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him for land as an estate, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a long and wide piece of land. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, he said: O Bilal! You obtained a long and wide piece of land from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not turn away anyone who asked; and you are not able to manage what you have. Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Look at what you are able to manage, keep that much and give the rest, and we will divide it among the Muslims. Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will not do so, by Allah, with what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, you shall do it. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took from him the land he was unable to cultivate and divided it among the Muslims.
