وَعَن ابْن السَّاعِدِيّ الْمَالِكِي أَنه قَالَ: استعملني عمر بن الْخطاب رَضِي الله عَنْهُم عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَأجْرِي على الله فَقَالَ خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَمَّلَنِي فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئا من غير أَن تسْأَل فَكل وَتصدق» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم وَأَبُو دَاوُد
On the authority of Ibn al-Saadi al-Maliki, he said: Omar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with them, appointed me to give charity, and when I finished it and gave it to him, he ordered me to work for him, so I said: I worked for God and my reward is for God. He said, “Take what you have been given, for I have worked at the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.” He made me work, and I said the same as you said. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me: “If you are given something without asking, then eat and give in charity.” Narrated by Muslim and Abu Dawud
