Bayhaqi 13016 — What the supreme ruler and the governor of a province

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ عَامِ الرَّمَادَاتِ وَأَجْدَبَتْ بِلَادُ الْعَرَبِ، كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ: " مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ عُمَرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ: إِنَّكَ لَعَمْرِي مَا تُبَالِي إِذَا سَمُنْتَ وَمَنْ قِبَلَكَ أَنْ أَعْجَفَ أَنَا وَمَنْ قِبَلِي، وَيَا غَوْثَاهُ "، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَخَرَجَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَلْفِ دِينَارٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْمَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَسْتُ آخِذٌ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " قَدْ أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَشْيَاءَ بَعَثَنَا لَهَا، فَكَرِهْنَا ذَلِكَ، فَأَبَى عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاقْبَلْهَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَا عَلَى دِينِكَ وَدُنْيَاكَ "، فَقَبِلَهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ.
Zayd bin Aslam narrated from his father that when the Year of Ashes (al-Ramadah) came and the lands of the Arabs were struck by drought, Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him): "From the servant of Allah, Umar, Commander of the Believers, to Amr bin al-As: By my life, you do not care, when you and those with you grow fat, that I and those with me grow lean. O for help!" Then (the narrator) mentioned the whole hadith, and in it he said: Then he called Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he went out for that task. When he returned, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him a thousand dinars. Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Ibn al-Khattab, I did not work for you; I did this work only for Allah, and I will not take anything for it." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us (payment) for the tasks he sent us on, and we disliked that, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not accept our refusal. So accept it, O man, and use it to help you in your religion and your worldly life." So Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted it.
