Hadith 3537

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقْبَلُ مَا أُعْطِيَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَغَيْرِهِ " قَالَ بَكْرٌ: وَمَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا يُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَا يُغَيِّرُهُ قَالَ بَكْرٌ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي يَسَارٌ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَقِيَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَغَازٍ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «أَمْسِكْ هَذِهِ الْخَمْسَةَ الدَّنَانِيرَ فَاقْبَلْهَا» قَالَ بَكْرٌ: وَتَصْنَعُ فِيمَا أُعْطِيتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتَ صَانِعًا بِمَالِكَ
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to accept wealth given in the way of Allah and did not consider there to be anything wrong in it.

Brief Explanation
First part (The statement of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu): ✔️ It is narrated by trustworthy narrators; the athar is authentic.

Second part (The incident of Shaykh Ansari): ❌ It is weak due to the presence of a majhul (unknown) shaykh in the chain of narration.

However, from Bakr bin Sawadah's own commentary, it is clear that: "A person has the right of personal disposal over something given in the way of Allah (fi sabil Allah), once it has been entrusted to him."
