عَنْ سالمِ بنِ عبدِ اللهِ بنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبيهِ عبدِ الله بنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهم قال: «كان رسولُ الله صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يُعْطِيني العطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ: أَعطهِ مَن هو أَفقَرُ إِلَيهِ مِنِّي، فقال: «خُذهُ، إِذَا جاءَكَ مِن هذا المَالِ شَيءٌ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ ولا سَائِلٍ، فَخُذْهُ، فتَموَّلْهُ، فَإِنْ شِئتَ كُلْهُ، وإِنْ شِئْتَ تَصْدَّقْ بِهِ، وَمَا لا، فَلا تُتبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ» قال سالمٌ: فَكَانَ عَبدُ الله لا يسأَلُ أَحدًا شَيْئًا، وَلا يَرُدُّ شَيئًا أُعْطِيَه. متفقٌ عليه.
Salim ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, on the authority of his father 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, on the authority of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them all) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give me a gift, and I would say: Give it to one who is more in need of it than I am. He said: "Take it. When something of this wealth comes to you while you are neither craving it nor begging for it, then take it and make it your own property. If you wish, consume it, and if you wish, give it away in charity. As for what does not come to you in this way, do not let your soul hanker after it." Salim said: So 'Abdullah would not ask anyone for anything, nor would he refuse anything he was given. Agreed upon.

أفقر: أحوج. مُشْرِف: أي متَطَلِّعٌ إِلَيْه. فتموّله: اجعله لك مالًا. وما لا..: وما لم يأتك على الحال المذكورة. فلا تُتبعه نفسك: أي لا تتعلق به.

الإرشاد لقبول المال وأخذه إن جاء من غير مسألة ولا تعلق نفس، كهدية أو عطاء مثلًا، وقد يكون في ردّه وعدم قبوله إيذاء لمن أهداه وأعطاه. في بعض الأحوال قد يترجح للمسلم أن لا يقبل المال أو الهدية لظنٍّ غالبٍ بلحاق أذى به، كأن يمنّ عليه صاحب الهدية أو العطاء، أو لكونه من وجهة غير حلال. النهي عن تطلُّع النفس والتشوُّف إلى ما في أيدي الناس. الحث على إيثار المسلم غيره بالمال إن كان ليس في حاجة إليه.
Guidance to accept and take wealth if it comes without asking and without the soul's attachment, such as a gift or a grant; for refusing it and not accepting it may cause hurt to the one who gave or granted it. In some situations it may be preferable for the Muslim not to accept wealth or a gift, due to a strong likelihood that harm will result, such as the giver of the gift or grant reproaching him with it, or its being from an unlawful source. The prohibition of the soul's craving and longing for what is in people's hands. Encouragement for the Muslim to prefer others with wealth if he is not in need of it.
