سنن نسائی · Hadith 2611
‘Abdullah bin As-Saadi narrated that he came to ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, from Ash-Sham, and he said: “I heard that you have been doing some work for the Muslims, and you are given payment for that, but you do not accept it.” I said: “Yes (that is so); I have horses and slaves and am well off, and I wanted my work to be an act of charity toward the Muslims.” ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I wanted the same thing as you. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to give me money, and I would say: ‘Give it to someone who is more in need of it than I am.’ Once he gave me money and I said: ‘Give it to someone who us more in need of it than I am,’ and he said: ‘Whatever Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, gives you of this wealth without you asking for it or hoping for it, take it and keep it, or give it in charity, and whatever He does not give you then do not hope for it or wish for It.” (Sahih)
