English narration
Narrated by عمر بن الخطاب العدوي
I sat with Shaiba in this Mosque (Al-Masjid-Al-Haram), and he said, "`Umar once sat beside me here as you are now sitting, and said, 'I feel like distributing all the gold and silver that are in it (i.e., the Ka`ba) among the Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do that.' `Umar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two (previous) companions (the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr) did not do it. `Umar said, 'They are the two persons whom one must follow.'" (See Hadith No. 664, Vol. 2)

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ : جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ هَذَا ، فَقَالَ : "
لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ ، إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، قُلْتُ : مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِل ، قَالَ : لِمَ قُلْتُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : هُمَا الْمَرْءَانِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا
