حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لِلنَّاسِ: مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي فَضْلٍ فَضَلٌ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَدْ شَغَلْنَاكَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ وَضَيْعَتِكَ وَتِجَارَتِكَ، فَهُوَ لَكَ. فَقَالَ لِي: مَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ أَشَارُوا عَلَيْكَ. فَقَالَ: قُلْ. فَقُلْتُ: لِمَ تَجْعَلُ يَقِينَكَ ظَنًّا؟ فَقَالَ: لَتَخْرُجَنَّ مِمَّا قُلْتَ. فَقُلْتُ: أَجَلْ، وَاللهِ لاخْرُجَنَّ مِنْهُ، أَتَذْكُرُ حِينَ، ، بَعَثَكَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعِيًا، فَأَتَيْتَ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، فَمَنَعَكَ صَدَقَتَهُ، فَكَانَ بَيْنَكُمَا شَيْءٌ فَقُلْتَ لِي: انْطَلِقْ مَعِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَجَدْنَاهُ خَاثِرًا، فَرَجَعْنَا، ثُمَّ غَدَوْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ، فَأَخْبَرْتَهُ بِالَّذِي صَنَعَ، فَقَالَ لَكَ: " أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَمَّ الرَّجُلِ صِنْوُ أَبِيهِ؟ " وَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ الَّذِي رَأَيْنَاهُ مِنْ خُثُورِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْأَوَّلِ، وَالَّذِي رَأَيْنَاهُ مِنْ طِيبِ نَفْسِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكُمَا أَتَيْتُمَانِي فِي الْيَوْمِ الْأَوَّلِ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ عِنْدِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ دِينَارَانِ، فَكَانَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمَا مِنْ خُثُورِي لَهُ، وَأَتَيْتُمَانِي الْيَوْمَ وَقَدْ وَجَّهْتُهُمَا، فَذَاكَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمَا مِنْ طِيبِ نَفْسِي " فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: صَدَقْتَ، وَاللهِ لاشْكُرَنَّ لَكَ الْأُولَى وَالْآخِرَةَ (١)، ،

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
`Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) said to the people: What do you think about what we have with us that is left over from this wealth? The people said: O Ameer al Mu`mineen, we kept you away from your family, your land and your trade, it is yours. He said to me: what do you think? I said: That they have suggested something to you. He said: Speak. I said: Why do you want to opt for uncertainty rather than certainty? He said Stop talking like that. I said: Yes, by Allah, I will stop. Do you remember when the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (ﷺ) sent you to collect zakah, and you went to al-`Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib (رضي الله عنه) and he withheld something from you? There was some misunderstanding between you and you said to me: Come with me to the Prophet (ﷺ), but we found him feeling low, so we went back. Then the next morning we came to him and we found him in a good mood, so you told him what had happened and he said to you: “Don`t you know that a man`s uncle is like his father?` We told him what we had seen of his low mood the day before and what we saw of his good mood on the second day, and he said: “You came to me on the first day when I still had two dinars of the zakah left over, and what you saw of my low mood was because of that. And when you came to me today, I had given them [to someone] and that is why you saw me in a good mood` `Umar (رضي الله عنه) said. By Allah, you are speaking the truth; I should be grateful to you in this world and in the Hereafter.
