[Machine] Abu Bakr divided the people and distributed among them. Umar asked him, "O Caliph of the Messenger of Allah, why do you distribute among the companions and others from the people?" Abu Bakr replied, "The world is just a temporary place, and the best distribution is the widest one. Their merit lies in their rewards."
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ قَسَمَ قَسْمًا سَوَّى فِيهِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ؓ «يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تُسَوِّي بَيْنَ أَصْحَابٍ وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «إِنَّمَا الدُّنْيَا بَلَاغٌ وَخَيْرُ الْبَلَاغِ أَوْسَعُهُ وَإِنَّمَا فَضْلُهُمْ فِي أُجُورِهِمْ»
