suyuti:2-1742bʿMrān

[Machine] According to Imran, whenever Umar ibn al-Khattab needed something, he would go to the custodian of the treasury and borrow from him. Sometimes, he faced difficulty in repayment, and the custodian of the treasury would come to him to demand repayment, insisting on it. Umar would then find a way to repay him, and sometimes his allowance would be issued, and he would settle the debt with it.  

السيوطي:٢-١٧٤٢b

"عن عمران أن عمر بن الخطاب كان إذا احتاج أتى صاحب بيت المال فاستقرضه، فربما أَعسر فيأتيه صاحبُ بيتِ المال يتقاضَاه فيلزمُه فيحتال له عمر وربما خرج عطاؤه فقضاه".  

ابن سعد
