It is narrated by Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the people: What is your opinion regarding the (charity) wealth that has remained with us? The people said: O Commander of the Faithful! We have kept you busy from your family, business, and trade, so you should keep this wealth with yourself. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me (Ali): What is your opinion? I said: The people have already indicated one thing to you. But he said: You should also say something. I said: Why do you turn your certainty into conjecture? He said: You will have to speak openly. I said: Fine, I will explain clearly. Do you remember that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent you to collect zakat, and when you went to Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he refused to give zakat and there was a dispute between you and him? You said to me: Come with me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So we went, but when we saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a distressed state, we returned. When we went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the next day, we found him content and cheerful. You told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the matter of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: An uncle is like a father. Then we mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his distress on the first day and his cheerfulness on the second day, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you came to me yesterday, I had two dinars of charity left with me, and I was distressed because of them, but this morning I distributed them, so I appeared cheerful and content when you came. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! You have spoken absolutely correctly, I am grateful to you from beginning to end.
