السيوطي:٢-٣٧٠٨b

"عن عبْد العزيز بنِ رفيع، عن أبي بكر أنَّ رجلًا كاتبَ غُلامًا له فنجَّمَهَا نُجومًا فأتى بمكاتَبَته كُلِّها، فأبى أن يأخذَها إلا نُجومًا، فأتى المكاتَبُ عمرَ، فأرسلَ عمرُ إلى مولاه، فجاء فعُرِضَتْ عليه، فأبى أن يأخذَها، فقال عمرُ: فإنى أطرحُها في بَيتِ المالِ، وقال للمولى: خُذها نُجومًا، وقال للمكاتَبِ: اذهبْ حيثُ شِئْتَ".

[Machine] A man hired a boy as a scribe and paid him in stars. He asked the boy for all of his notes, but the boy refused to give them to him unless he paid in stars. So, the boy went to Umar and Umar sent him back to his master. He offered to give the boy the payment he had asked for, but the boy still refused. Umar then said that he would throw the notes into the treasury, and told the master to take them as stars. He then told the scribe to go wherever he pleased.

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ فَنَجَّمَهَا نُجُومًا فَأَتَى بِمُكَاتَبَتِهِ كُلِّهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا إِلَّا نُجُومًا فَأَتَى الْمُكَاتَبُ عُمَرَ ؓ فَأَرْسَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ فَجَاءَ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَإِنِّي أَطْرَحُهَا فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ وَقَالَ لِلْمَوْلَى خُذْهَا نُجُومًا وَقَالَ لِلْمُكَاتَبِ اذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ
