ahmad:1391Sufyān > ʿAmr > al-Zuhrī > Mālik b. Aws > ʿUmar

I heard ʿUmar ؓ say to ‘Abdur-Rahman, Talhah, azZubair and Saʿd: “I adjure you by Allah, by Whose power heaven and earth exist [Sufyan said on one occasion: by Whose leave heaven and earth exist], do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWe [Prophets] are not to be inherited from ; what we leave behind is charity”. They said: “By Allah, yes.”  

أحمد:١٣٩١حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعْدٍ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي تَقُومُ بِهِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ أَعَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ قَالُوا اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ
