حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الأَحْدَبِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَ رَجُلٌ مَعِيَ بِدَرَاهِمَ هَدِيَّةً إِلَى الْبَيْتِ . قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْبَيْتَ وَشَيْبَةُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهَا . فَقَالَ أَلَكَ هَذِهِ قُلْتُ لاَ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ لِي لَمْ آتِكَ بِهَا . قَالَ أَمَا لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ جَلَسَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَجْلِسَكَ الَّذِي جَلَسْتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لاَ أَخْرُجُ حَتَّى أَقْسِمَ مَالَ الْكَعْبَةِ بَيْنَ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ . قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ . قَالَ لأَفْعَلَنَّ . قَالَ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ قُلْتُ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَدْ رَأَى مَكَانَهُ . وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا أَحْوَجُ مِنْكَ إِلَى الْمَالِ فَلَمْ يُحَرِّكَاهُ . فَقَامَ كَمَا هُوَ فَخَرَجَ .
“A man sent some Dirham through me
to
the House.” He said: “I entered the House and Shaibah was sitting
on a chair. I handed it (the money) to him and he said: ‘Is this
yours?’ I said: ‘No, if it were mine I would not have given it to
you.’ He said: ‘Since you say that, ‘Umar was sitting in the
place
where you are sitting now and said: “I will not go out until
I
distribute the wealth of the poor Muslims.” I said: “You will
not do
that.” He said: “I will certainly do that.” He said:
“Why is that?” I
said: “Because, the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr
saw where it was, and
they had more need of the money than you do.
But, they did not move
it. Then, he stood up just as he was and went
out.”
