Sunan Abi Dawud 2031 (Book 11, Hadith 311) #22322
Property of Ka'bah and its Distribution

SUMMARY: Umar bin Al Khattab wanted to distribute the property of Ka'bah, but Shaibah bin 'Uthman advised him against it as the Prophet and Abu Bakr had not done so.

Shaibah bin 'Uthman said "'Umar bin Al Khattab was sitting in the place where you are sitting. He said I shall not go out until I distribute the property of The Ka’bah. I said "You will not do it". He asked "Why?" I said "For the Apostle of Allaah and Abu Bakr had seen its place and they were more in need of the property than you, but they did not take it out. He ('Umar) stood up and went out".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الأَحْدَبِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ شَيْبَةَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُثْمَانَ - قَالَ قَعَدَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ - رضى الله عنه - فِي مَقْعَدِكَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لاَ أَخْرُجُ حَتَّى أَقْسِمَ مَالَ الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلَى لأَفْعَلَنَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ لِمَ قُلْتُ لأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَأَى مَكَانَهُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ - رضى الله عنه - وَهُمَا أَحْوَجُ مِنْكَ إِلَى الْمَالِ فَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ فَخَرَجَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Sunnah, Use Wealth Wisely for Allah's Pleasure Only

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of following in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companion Abu Bakr. Umar bin Al Khattab was sitting in a place where he was discussing distributing the property of The Ka’bah. Shaibah bin 'Uthman advised him against it as they were more in need than Umar, yet they did not take it out. This teaches us that we should be content with what we have and follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet ﷺ even if we are more deserving than others. We should also remember that whatever wealth or possessions we have are from Allah SWT, so we must use them wisely for His pleasure only.
