"عن جرير بن عبد اللَّه البجلى قالَ: كانت بُجَيْلَةُ ربعَ النَّاسِ فَقَسَمَ لهم عمر (ربعَ السَّواد فاستغلوهُ ثلاثَ سنين، ثم قدمت على عمر) فقال: لولا أنِى قاسمٌ مسئولٌ لَتَرَكْتُكُمْ على مَا قُسِمَ لكم، ولكنى أرى أن تردُّوا على الناس، ففعل".
[Machine] We were a quarter of the people on the day of Al-Qadisiyah, so Umar gave us a quarter of the booty, and we took it for three years. Then Jarir went to Umar after that and said, "By Allah, if it were not for the fact that I am responsible and accountable, you would have received what was divided to you. So I suggest that you return it to the Muslims." Umar agreed and reimbursed him with eighty dinars.
كُنَّا رُبْعَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَأَعْطَانَا عُمَرُ ؓ رُبْعَ السَّوَادِ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ وَفَدَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي قَاسِمٌ مَسْئُولٌ لَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا قُسِمَ لَكُمْ فَأَرَى أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَعَلَ وَأَجَازَهُ بِثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا
