Explanation of the Book of Hajj-06b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us, Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, Wasil al-Ahdab narrated to us from Abu Wa'il, who said: I came to Shaybah. And Qubaydah narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us from Wasil from Abu Wa'il, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1594
The Shaykh : 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that the gold and silver hung in the Ka'bah should be distributed among the Muslims, meaning it should be placed in the public treasury. He said that he intended to do this. And 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was the caliph; if he intended something, who could stop him? No one could stop him. So Shaybah said to him, yes, Abu Wa'il said to him: "Your two companions did not do that", meaning by that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr. So he said: "They are the two men I follow", and he refrained (may Allah be pleased with him).
The explanation, ... I assumed it was Abu Wa'il, but it is Shaybah.
I sat along with Shaiba on the chair inside the Ka`ba. He (Shaiba) said, "No doubt, `Umar sat at this place and said, 'I intended not to leave any yellow (i.e. gold) or white (i.e. silver) (inside the Ka`ba) undistributed.' I said (to `Umar), 'But your two companions (i.e. The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr) did not do so.' `Umar said, They are the two persons whom I always follow.' "
جلست مع شيبة على الكرسي في الكعبة فقال لقد جلس هذا المجلس عمر رضي الله عنه فقال : لقد هممت أن لا أدع فيها صفراء ولا بيضاء إلا قسمته قلت إن صاحبيك لم يفعلا قال هما المرءان أقتدي بهماThe Shaykh : 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that the gold and silver hung in the Ka'bah should be distributed among the Muslims, meaning it should be placed in the public treasury.
