حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ (١) ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زُرَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، - قَالَ حَسَنٌ: يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى - فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا خَزِيرَةً فَقُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، لَوْ قَرَّبْتَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْبَطِّ - يَعْنِي الْوَزَّ - فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَكْثَرَ الْخَيْرَ. فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ زُرَيْرٍ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَحِلُّ لِلْخَلِيفَةِ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ إِلا قَصْعَتَانِ: قَصْعَةٌ يَأْكُلُهَا هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ، وَقَصْعَةٌ يَضَعُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ " (٢)،

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Zurair said:
I entered upon `Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) - Hasan said: On the day of (Eid) al-Adha - and he brought some khazeerah (a dish made from small pieces of meat, broth and flour) to us. I said: May Allah guide you! Why don`t you make a dish for us from these ducks, for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has blessed us with a great deal of bounty. He said: O son of Zurair, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “It is not permissible for the caliph to take more from the wealth of Allah than two dishes: one from which he and his family eat and one that he offers to the People.”
