Ukarimu wa Mu’aaz bin Jabal (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu)

Wakati mmoja, Umar (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) alimtumia Abu Ubaidah bin Jarraah (radhiyallahu anhu) sarafu za dhahabu mia nne na akamuusia Mtume (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) abaki nyuma kidogo na aone jinsi atakavyotumia mali.

Abu Ubaydah (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) alipopokea mali hiyo, alisema: “Mwenyezi Mungu amrehemu (akimmaanisha Umar).”

Kisha akamwambia kijakazi wake, “Mpelekee huyo sarafu saba za dhahabu, na hizi tano mpe mtu mwingine.” Kwa njia hii, aligawa mali yote. Mtumwa akarudi na akamjulisha Umar (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu).

Umar (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) kisha akapeleka kiasi kile kile cha mali kwa Mu’aaz bin Jabal (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) naye akampa Mtume (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) maelekezo yale yale.

Alipopokea mali hiyo, Mu’aaz bin Jabal (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) alisema: “Mwenyezi Mungu amrehemu (akimmaanisha Umar).”

Mu’aaz (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) pia aligawa mali zote na kuacha dinari mbili tu ambazo mke wake alimuomba azitumie kununua vitu walivyohitaji. Mjumbe alipomjulisha Umar (radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) kuhusu matendo yake, Umar (Radhiya Allaahu ‘anhu) alifurahishwa sana na akasema, “Hao ni ndugu katika kutenda mema.”
