مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 725
It was narrated that 'Ali (RA) said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) said to the people: What do you think about what we have with us that is left over from this wealth? The people said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, we kept you away from your family, your land and your trade; it is yours. He said to me: What do you think? I said: That they have suggested some- thing to you. He said: Speak. I said: Why do you want to opt for uncertainty rather than certainty? He said: Stop talking like that. I said: Yes, by Allah, I will stop. Do you remember when the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) sent you to collect zakah, and you went to al-' Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib (RA) and he withheld something from you? There was some misunder-standing between you and you said to me: Come with me to the Prophet (PBUH), but we found him feeling low, so we went back. Then the next morning we came to him and we found him in a good mood, so you told him what had happened and he said to you: "Don't you know that a man's unde is like his father?" We told him what we had seen of his low mood the day before and what we saw of his good mood on the second day, and he said: "You came to me on the first day when I still had two dinars of the zakat left over, and what you saw of my low mood was because of that. And when you came to me today, I had given them [to someone] and that is why you saw me in a good mood." 'Umar (RA) said: By Allah, you are speaking the truth; I should be grateful to you in this world and in the Hereafter.
