Bayhaqi 12131 — Picking up a foundling, and that it may not be left

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ح وَأنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الصَّفَّارُ، قَالَا: ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، فِي قِصَّةٍ ذَكَرَهَا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عُمَرُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ " {إِنَّ اللهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ} [التوبة: ١١١] الْآيَةَ، فَجَعَلَ لَهُ الصَّفْقَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا، وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّ اللهَ أَمَدَّكُمْ بِخَزَائِنَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ لَأَخَذْتُ فَضْلَ مَالِ الرَّجُلِ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعِيَالِهِ فَقَسَمْتُهُ بَيْنَ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ".
Ma'rur bin Suwayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a story, then recited this verse of the Qur'an: "Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth in exchange for Paradise" [Surah al-Tawbah: 111], and said: He made both parts of the bargain His. By Allah! Had Allah not supplied you with treasures from Himself, I would have taken from a man whatever wealth exceeded the needs of himself and his family and distributed it among the poor of the Muhajirun.
