bayhaqi:21671Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ And ʾAbū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Jabbār > Wakīʿ > Abū Shabīb > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās > ʿUmar

[Machine] That Umar was a writer for a slave named Abu Umamah, who came to him with his star when it appeared, so he said, "Go and seek its help in your correspondence." He said, "O Commander of the Believers, if you leave it until it is the last star." He said, "I am afraid that I will not be able to reach that." Then he recited, "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you." [An-Nur 33] Ikrimah said, "He was the first star to be fulfilled in Islam."  

البيهقي:٢١٦٧١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ كَاتَبَ عَبْدًا لَهُ يُكْنَى بِأَبِي أُمَيَّةَ فَجَاءَهُ بِنَجْمِهِ حِينَ حَلَّ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهِ فِي مُكَاتَبَتِكَ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ تَرَكْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَ نَجْمٍ قَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَلَّا أُدْرِكَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} [النور 33] قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ نَجْمٍ أُدِّيَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ

"عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَاتَبَ عَبْدًا لَهُ يُكْنَى بأَبِى أُمَيَّةَ، فَجاءَ بِنَجْمِهِ حِينَ حَلَّ، فَقَالَ: اذهَبْ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهِ فِى مُكَاتَبَتِكَ، فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ: لَوْ تَركْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَ نَجْمٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّى أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أُدْرِكَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ: وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ نَجْمٍ أُدِّى فِى الإِسْلَامِ".
