Abu Wa'il said: Ibn Ziyad appointed me over the treasury. A man from it came to me with a written order saying: Give the master of the kitchen eight hundred dirhams. I said to him: Stay where you are. Then I went to Ibn Ziyad and told him, and I said: Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) over judgeship and the treasury, Uthman bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) over the land watered by the Euphrates, and Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) over the prayer and the armies, and he provided them with one goat every day: half of it, with its offal and trotters, to Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him), because he was over the prayer and the army; a quarter of it to Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and a quarter of it to Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. Then he said: Wealth from which a goat is taken every day will quickly run out. Ibn Ziyad said: Put down the key and go wherever you wish.
