قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لَمْ يَعُمَّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ، وَلَمْ يَخُصَّ قَرِيبًا دُونَ مَنْ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي أَعْطَى لِمَا يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ، وَلِمَا مَسَّتْهُمْ فِي جَنْبِهِ، مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ وَحُلَفَائِهِمْ.Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not give all of them (i.e., his relatives) in general, and he did not give to a near relative if there was a needy relative of a remoter relation. He would give the latter because of what they complained to him about their needs, and because of what they had suffered from these people (i.e., Quraish) and their allies for his sake."'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not give all of them (i.e., his relatives) in general, and he did not give to a near relative if there was a needy relative of a remoter relation.
