As-salaamu'alaykun,
When Umar would distribute wealth from Muslim Treasury, he would not give certain people extra shares based on worldly standards, such as a man's rank or status among his people. Umar did, however give people extra shares based on religious standards such as the sacrifices a man was known to have made for the cause of Islam.
One particular occasion, when Umar had at his disposal a large quantity of wealth, he gave Usaamah a share of 4000 (dirhams), meanwhile Umar gave his own son, Abdullah, a share of only 3000. Abdullah went to Umar and said,
"O my father, you gave Usaamah a share of 4000 while you gave me a share of only 3000. And yet his father was not superior to you, and his son is not superior to me (i.e., he is not known for sacrifices that I did not make as well)."
Umar replied,
"Verily, his father was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah than your father was, and he (i.e., Usaamah) was more beloved to Messenger of Allah when you were.)
