Musnad Ahmedقَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ أَنَّهُ حَجَّ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ أَشْرَافُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَقَالُوا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّا أَصَبْنَا مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا رَقِيقًا وَدَوَابَّ فَخُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُنَا بِهَا وَتَكُونُ لَنَا زَكَاةً فَقَالَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ اللَّذَانِ كَانَا مِنْ قَبْلِي وَلَكِنْ انْتَظِرُوا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
It was narrated from Harithah bin Mudarrib that he did Hajj with ‘Umar bin al Khattab (رضي الله عنه).
The nobles of Syria came to him ['Umar) and said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, we have acquired slaves and mounts, so take charity from our wealth in order to purify us thereby, and it will be zakah for us. He said: This is something that the two who came before me did not do; I shall wait until I ask the Muslims.
