I sat with Shaiba in this Mosque (Al-Masjid-Al-Haram), and he said, "ʿUmar once sat beside me here as you are now sitting, and said, 'I feel like distributing all the gold and silver that are in it (i.e., the Kaʿba) among the Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do that.' ʿUmar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two (previous) companions (the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr) did not do it. ʿUmar said, 'They are the two persons whom one must follow.'" (See Hadith No. 664, Vol. 2)
جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ جَلَسَ إِلَىَّ عُمَرُ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لاَ أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَلاَ بَيْضَاءَ إِلاَّ قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ لِمَ قُلْتُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ قَالَ هُمَا الْمَرْآنِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا
