English translation

2605. It was narrated that Ibn As-Sâ'idî Al-Mâlikî said: "Umar bin Al-Khaţţâb, may Allâh be pleased with him, appointed me in charge of the Sadaqah. When I finished collecting it and handed it over to him, he ordered that I be given some payment. I said to him: 'I only did for the sake of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, and my reward will be with Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime.' He said: 'Take what I have given you; I did the same task during the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and I said what you have said, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to me: 'If you are given something without asking for it, then keep (some) and give (some) in charity.'" (Sahîh)

2604 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ، قَالَ: اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا فَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ، أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَ: خُذْ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ، فَكُلْ، وَتَصَدَّقْ»
