It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked a question. You (may Allah be pleased with him) sometimes looked at his head and sometimes at his feet to see if there was any sign of poverty on him. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How much wealth do you have? He said: Forty camels. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth: {لَوْ کَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِیَانِ مِنْ ذَہَبٍ لَابْتَغٰی الثَّالِثَ، وَلَا یَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَیَتُوبُ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مَنْ تَابَ} … If the son of Adam had two valleys of gold, he would seek a third; nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and whoever repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What is this? I said: Yes, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) taught me in this way. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us and went to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: What does this Ibn Abbas say? He replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me these verses in this way. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then should I keep them as they are? So he kept them as they were.
