The Expenses Claims of Umar

Al-Ahnaf b. Qays reports that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb – Allâh be pleased with him – said:

Nothing is permitted for ‘Umar from the wealth of Allâh except two garments: one for winter and one for summer [heat], and what I need to carry me to Hajj and ‘Umrah. And the provisions for my family are that of an [average] man of the Quraysh: neither the richest nor the poorest amongst them. After that, I am just a man from amongst the Muslims.

Abû Bakr Al-Daynûrî, Al-Mujâlasah wa Jawâhir Al-‘Ilm 6:78.
