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، فَقَالَ 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

Abu Nu`aym told us, Hisham bin Saad told us, on the authority of Zayd bin Aslam, on the authority of his father, he said, I heard Omar, he said: The Messenger of God commanded us May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, we asked him to give alms, and that amounted to money I had, so I said: Today I will outpace Abu Bakr if I ever outpaced him.
He said: I brought half of my money, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “What have you left for your family?” I said: The same. He said: 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 for them God and His Messenger.
So I said: I will never race with you in anything.
