عن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمر، عن أبيه عبد الله بن عمر، عن عمر رضي الله عنهم

قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطيني العطاء، فأقول: أعطه من هو أفقر إليه مني، فقال: «خذه؛ إذا جاءك من هذا المال شئ، وأنت غير مشرف ولا سائل، فخذه فتموله فإن شئت كله، وإن شئت تصدق به، وما لا، فلا تتبعه نفسك«قال سالم: فكان عبد الله لا يسأل أحداً شيئاً، ولا يرد شيئاً أعطيه»

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would give me some gift, but I would say: “Give it to someone who needs it more than I.” Thereupon he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would say, “Take it when it comes to you without begging and without greed, and add it to your property. Then use it yourself or give it away in charity.

As for the rest, do not covet it.” Salim said: Abdullah ibn Umar would never ask anything from anyone, nor would he refuse accepting it when it was given to him.
