َلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْوَالِ السُّلْطَانِ فَقَالَ مَا أَتَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَلَا إِشْرَافٍ فَكُلْهُ وَتَمَوَّلْهُ قَالَ و قَالَ الْحَسَنُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا مَا لَمْ يَرْحَلْ إِلَيْهَا أَوْ يُشْرِفْ لَهَا

It was narrated from Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked him about wealth from the ruler. He said: "Whatever Allah gives you of it without you asking or coveting, then eat from it and store it." Al-Hasan also said: "There is nothing wrong with it as long as one does not travel specifically for it or covet it."
