Volume 9, Book 92, Number 380:
Narrated Abu Wail:
I sat with Shaiba in this Mosque (Al-Masjid-Al-Haram), and he said, "'Umar once sat beside me
here as you are now sitting, and said, 'I feel like distributing all the gold and silver that are in it (i.e.,
the Ka'ba) among the Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do that.' 'Umar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two (pre –
vious) companions (the Prophet and Abu Bakr) did not do it. 'Umar said, 'They are the two persons
whom one must follow.'" (See Hadith No. 664, Vol. 2)
