Volume 3, Book 34, Number 284:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Abu Bakr As-Siddiq was chosen Caliph, he said, “My people know that my profession was
not incapable of providing substance to my family. And as I will be busy serving the Muslim nation,
my family will eat from the National Treasury of Muslims, and I will practise the profession of
serving the Muslims.”
