Salim bin'Abdullah bin 'Umar reported on the authority of his father ('Abdullah bin 'Umar) that he had heard 'Umar bin Khattab (RA) saying: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave me a gift, but I said: Give it to one who needs it more than I. He gave me wealth for the second time but I said: Give it to one who needs it more than I. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Take out of this wealth which comes to you without your being avaricious and without begging, but in other circumstance's do not let your heart hanker after it.

Salim bin 'Abdullah reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave to 'Umar bin Khattab some gift. Umar said to him: Messenger of Allah, give it to one who needs it more than I. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Take it; either keep it with you or give it as a charity, and whatever comes to you in the form of this type of wealth, without your being avaricious or begging for it, accept it, but in other circumstances do not let your heart hanker after it. And it was on account of this that Ibn 'Umar never begged anything from anyone, nor refused anything given to him.

This hadith has been narrated by'Abdullah bin al-Sa'di from 'Umar bin al-Khattab who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) .

Ibn al-Sa'di Maliki reported: 'Umar bin Khattab (RA) appointed me as a collector of Sadaqa. When I had finished that (the task assigned to me) and I handed over that to him (to 'Umar), he commanded me to (accept) some remuneration (for the work). I said: I performed this duty for Allah and my reward is with Allah. He said: Take whatever has been given to you, for I also performed this duty during the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He assigned me the task of a collector and I said as you say, and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to me: When you are given anything without your begging for it, (then accept it), eat it and give it in charity.

Ibn al-Sa'di reported: 'Umar bin Khattab (RA) appointed me as a collector of Sadaqat. The rest of the hadith is the same.
