حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَعْلَی الْمُحَارِبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَالَّذِينَ يَکْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ قَالَ کَبُرَ ذَلِکَ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَا أُفَرِّجُ عَنْکُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ کَبُرَ عَلَی أَصْحَابِکَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَفْرِضْ الزَّکَاةَ إِلَّا لِيُطَيِّبَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِکُمْ وَإِنَّمَا فَرَضَ الْمَوَارِيثَ لِتَکُونَ لِمَنْ بَعْدَکُمْ فَکَبَّرَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُکَ بِخَيْرِ مَا يَکْنِزُ الْمَرْئُ الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ وَإِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا حَفِظَتْهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1664
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: When this verse was revealed: "And those who hoard gold and silver, " the Muslims were grieved about it. Umar said: I shall dispel your care. He, therefore, went and said: Prophet of Allah, your Companions were grieved by this verse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah has made zakat obligatory simply to purify your remaining property, and He made inheritances obligatory that they might come to those who survive you. Umar then said: Allah is most great. He then said to him: Let me inform you about the best a man hoards; it is a virtuous woman who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives her a command, and guards his interests when he is away from her.
