Hadith #970
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْنَتَصَدَّقَ، فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ مَالًا عِنْدِي، فَقُلْتُ : الْيَوْمَ أَسْبِقُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنْ سَبَقْتُهُ يَوْمًا. قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِنِصْفِ مَالِي، فَقَال
َ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ؟ " قُلْتُ : مِثْلَهُ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِكُلِّ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ؟ ". فَقَالَ : أَبْقَيْتُ لَهُمْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ. فَقُلْتُ : لَا أُسَابِقُكَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَبَدًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to give charity, and it coincided with a time when I had wealth. I said: Today I will outstrip Abu Bakr if I ever outstrip him on any day. So I came with half my wealth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What have you left for your family? I said: The same amount. Then Abu Bakr came with everything he had. He said: O Abu Bakr, what have you left for your family? He said: I have left them Allah and His Messenger. I said: I will never outstrip you in anything ever again.'
