When Abu Bakr As-Siddiq was chosen Caliph, he said, "My people know that my profession was not incapable of providing substance to my family. And as I will be busy serving the Muslim nation, my family will eat from the National Treasury of Muslims, and I will practice the profession of serving the Muslims."  

عَنْ مَئُونَةِ أَهْلِي وَشُغِلْتُ بِأَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَسَيَأْكُلُ آلُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَيَحْتَرِفُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] "When Abu Bakr was appointed as the successor, he said: 'My people know that my profession was always capable of providing for my family, but I have been occupied with the affairs of the Muslims. The family of Abu Bakr will consume from this wealth, while I will work for the Muslims with it.' Ibn Shihab narrated to me from Urwah, who reported from Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that she said: 'When Umar was appointed as the successor, he and his family consumed from it and he used his own wealth for his personal needs.'"  

لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ قَوْمِي أَنَّ حِرْفَتِي لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْجِزُ عَنْ مُؤْنَةِ أَهْلِي وَقَدْ شُغِلْتُ بِأَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَسَيَأْكُلُ آلُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَحْتَرِفُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَكَلَ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ وَاحْتَرَفَ فِي مَالِ نَفْسِهِ  

"عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: لَقَدْ عَلِمَ قَوْمِى أَنَّ حِرْفَتِى لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْجِزُ عَنْ مُؤْنَة أَهِلى، وَقَدْ شُغِلْتُ بِأَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَسَيَأَكُلُ آلُ أَبِى بكْرٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَحْتَرِفُ لِلْمُسْلِميَنَ فِيهِ".
