General Behavior
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هِنْدَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، كَمْ عَطَاؤُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَلْفَانِ وَخَمْسُمِئَةٍ، قَالَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، اتَّخِذْ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالسَّابْيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلِيَكُمْ غِلْمَةُ قُرَيْشٍ، لاَ يُعَدُّ الْعَطَاءُ مَعَهُمْ مَالاً.
Abu Dhubyan related that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asked him, "Abu Dhubyan,
how large is your (soldier's) stipend?" "2500," he replied. He told him,
"Abu Dhubyan, it was taken from agriculture and increased livestock before
the lads of Quraysh were appointed over you. They do not consider the stipend
to be income."
