Sunan Ibn Majah 1787
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَلَحِقَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلاَ يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} قَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَنْ كَنَزَهَا فَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا فَوَيْلٌ لَهُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ طَهُورًا لِلأَمْوَالِ . ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ مَا أُبَالِي لَوْ كَانَ لِي أُحُدٌ ذَهَبًا أَعْلَمُ عَدَدَهُ وَأُزَكِّيهِ وَأَعْمَلُ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

Amr ibn Sawwad al-Misri narrated to us; Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us, from Ibn Lahi‘ah, from Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, who informed me that Khalid ibn Aslam, the freedman of Umar ibn al-Khattab, said: I went out with Abdullah ibn Umar, and a Bedouin caught up with him and said to him, ‘What about Allah’s words: “Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah…”?’ Ibn Umar said to him, ‘Woe to whoever hoards it and does not pay its zakah. This was before zakah was revealed. When it was revealed, Allah made it a purification for wealth.’ Then he turned and said, ‘I would not mind if I had gold like Mount Uhud, knew its amount, paid its zakah, and used it in obedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.’
