3380 - Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Muzakki narrated to me in Marv, saying: Abdullah ibn Ruh al-Madaini narrated to us, saying: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, mentioning that Hisham ibn Hassan informed him, from Muhammad ibn Sirin
from Abu Huraira, who said: Umar said to me, "O enemy of Allah and enemy of Islam, you have betrayed the wealth of Allah." I replied, "I am neither an enemy of Allah nor an enemy of Islam, but I am an enemy of whoever opposes them, and I did not betray the wealth of Allah." Rather, it was the prices of goods that I exhausted and arrows that had gathered." Umar then repeated this to me and reaffirmed this statement. He fined me twelve thousand. Then I stood in the morning prayer and said, "O Allah, forgive the Commander of the Faithful." When that was over, he wanted me to take up a position, but I refused. He said, "Why not? Yusuf asked for a position and he was better than you." I replied, "Indeed, Yusuf was a prophet, the son of a prophet, the grandson of a prophet, the great-grandson of a prophet, while I am the son of Umayma, and I fear three things and two." He said, "You do not mean to say five?" I replied, "No." He asked, "What are they?" I said, "I fear that I might speak without knowledge, that I might issue a legal opinion without knowledge, that my back may be beaten, that my honor may be insulted, and that my wealth may be taken by force." This is a hadith with a chain of narration that is sound, meeting the criteria of the two shaykhs, although they did not include it in their collections.
