أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَی قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ وَهُوَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ کَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَی عُمَرَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ کِتَابًا فِيهِ وَقَسْمُ أَبِيکَ لَکَ الْخُمُسُ کُلُّهُ وَإِنَّمَا سَهْمُ أَبِيکَ کَسَهْمِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَفِيهِ حَقُّ اللَّهِ وَحَقُّ الرَّسُولِ وَذِي الْقُرْبَی وَالْيَتَامَی وَالْمَسَاکِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ فَمَا أَکْثَرَ خُصَمَائَ أَبِيکَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَکَيْفَ يَنْجُو مَنْ کَثُرَتْ خُصَمَاؤُهُ وَإِظْهَارُکَ الْمَعَازِفَ وَالْمِزْمَارَ بِدْعَةٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَ إِلَيْکَ مَنْ يَجُزُّ جُمَّتَکَ جُمَّةَ السُّوئِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4150
It was narrated that Al Awza’i said: “Umar bin ‘Abdul Aziz wrote a letter to ‘Umar bin Al-Walid in which he said: ‘The share that your father gave to you was the entire Khumus, but the share that your father is entitled to is the same as that of any man among the Muslims, on which is due the rights of Allah and His Messenger, and of relatives, orphans, the poor and wayfarers. How many will dispute with your father on the Day of Resurrection! How can he be saved who has so many disputants? And your openly allowing musical instruments and wind instruments is an innovation in Islam. I was thinking of sending someone to you who would cut off your evil long hair.” (Sahih).
