أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ، بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّرْقُفِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا غَيْلَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَامِعٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ} [التوبة: ٣٤] كَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَقَالُوا مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا يَدَعُ لِوَلَدِهِ مَالًا يَبْقَى بَعْدَهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَنَا أُفَرِّجُ عَنْكُمْ، قَالُوا: فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ ثَوْبَانُ فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّهَ قَدْ كَبُرَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَّا لِيُطَيِّبَ بِهَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَإِنَّمَا فَرَضَ الْمَوَارِيثَ فِي أَمْوَالٍ تَبْقَى بَعْدَكُمْ " قَالَ: فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَيْرِ مَا يَكْنِزُ الْمَرْءُ؟ الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ وَإِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا حَفِظَتْهُ ".
Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When this verse was revealed: "And those who hoard gold and silver" [Surah al-Tawbah: 34], it weighed heavily upon the Muslims. They said: None of us is able to leave any wealth for his child that would remain after him. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will resolve this difficulty for you. Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) both came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Prophet of Allah! This verse has weighed heavily upon your Companions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has made zakah obligatory only to purify by it what remains of your wealth, and He has appointed inheritance in your wealth that remains after you." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then proclaimed the takbir. Then (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) said: "Shall I not tell you of the best treasure that a man can store up? It is a righteous wife: when you look at her she pleases you, when you command her she obeys, and when he is absent she guards his wealth and honour."
