I heard 'Ali say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ assigned me the fifth (of the booty). I spent it on its beneficiaries during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and of 'Umar. Some property was brought to him ('Umar) and he called me and said: Take it. I said: I dod not want it. He said: Take it ; you have right to it. I said: We do not need it. So he deposited in the government treasury.
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ وَلاَّنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُمُسَ الْخُمُسِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ مَوَاضِعَهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَيَاةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَحَيَاةَ عُمَرَ فَأُتِيَ بِمَالٍ فَدَعَانِي فَقَالَ خُذْهُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ أُرِيدُهُ قَالَ خُذْهُ فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ قُلْتُ قَدِ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ
