English translation

1647. It was reported from Ibn As-Sāʿidī, that he said: "Umar put me in charge of (collecting) the charity. After I had completed (my responsibility), he commanded that I be given some wages. I said: 'Indeed, I only did this for the sake of Allāh, and (I expect) my rewards with Allāh!' So he replied: 'Take what I have given you, for I worked during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he gave me my wages, and I said just as you have said, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If you are ever given anything without having asked for it, then consume of it, and give charity (from it)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1647 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ، أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللَّهِ، قَالَ: خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَمَّلَنِي، فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَهُ، فَكُلْ وَتَصَدَّقْ»
