English translation

[2406] 111 - (...) It was narrated from Sâlim bin ‘Abdullâh from his father, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to give things to ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb, may Allâh be pleased with him, and ‘Umar would say to him: “O Messenger of Allâh, give it to one who is more in need of it than me.” The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: “Take it, and keep it, or give it in charity. Whatever comes to you of this wealth when you are not hoping for it or asking for it, take it, otherwise do not hanker after it.” Sâlim said: “Because of that, Ibn ‘Umar did not ask anyone for anything, and he did not refuse anything that was given to him.”

Arabic text

111 - (1045) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُعْطِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ الْعَطَاءَ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَعْطِهِ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفْقَرَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خُذْهُ فَتَمَوَّلْهُ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ، وَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ، وَمَا لَا، فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ» قَالَ سَالِمٌ: «فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَا يَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا وَلَا يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا أُعْطِيَهُ»،
