Bayhaqi 13010 — What the supreme ruler and the governor of a province

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْعَبْدَوِيُّ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا بِبَابِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ نَنْظُرُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَنَا، فَخَرَجَتْ جَارِيَةٌ، فَقُلْنَا: سُرِّيَّةُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَسَمِعَتْ فَقَالَتْ: مَا أَنَا بِسُرِّيَّةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَمَا أَحِلُّ لَهُ، إِنِّي لَمِنْ مَالِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، قَالَ: فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ بِمَا قُلْنَا، وَبِمَا قَالَتْ، فَقَالَ: " صَدَقَتْ، مَا تَحِلُّ لِي، وَمَا هِيَ لِي بِسُرِّيَّةٍ، وإِنَّهَا لَمِنْ مَالِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا أَسْتَحِلُّ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ، أَسْتَحِلُّ مِنْهُ حُلَّتَيْنِ: حُلَّةً لِلشِّتَاءِ، وَحُلَّةً لِلصَّيْفِ، وَمَا يَسَعُنِي لِحَجِّي وَعُمْرَتِي وَقُوتِي وَقُوتِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، وَسَهْمِي مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَسَهْمِ رَجُلٍ، لَسْتُ بِأَرْفَعِهِمْ وَلَا أَوْضَعِهِمْ ".
Ahnaf bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We were at the door of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), waiting for him to give us permission. A slave girl came out, and we said: Are you the concubine of the Commander of the Believers? She heard and said: I am not the concubine of the Commander of the Believers, nor am I lawful for him; I am part of the wealth of Allah. This was mentioned to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: She has spoken the truth; she is not lawful for me, nor is she my concubine; she is part of the wealth of Allah. And I will tell you what is lawful for me from it: I have made lawful for myself from it two garments, one for summer and one for winter, and (what suffices me for) my Hajj, my Umrah, my food and the food of my household; and my share with the Muslims is like that of one man among them; I am not above them.
