37. Division of War Booty
٣٧۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الْفَيْءِ وَالْغَنِيمَةِ
[Machine] He said, "Uthman ibn Affan and I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have you given the Banu Muttalib while leaving us, even though we and they are in the same position?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The Banu Muttalib and the Banu Hashim are one thing.'"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَشَيْتُ أَنَا وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْطَيْتَ بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ وَتَرَكْتَنَا وَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ وَهُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا بَنُو الْمُطَّلِبٍ وَبَنُو هَاشِمٍ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ
"He and 'Uthman bin 'Affan came to the Messenger of Allah to speak to him about what he had distributed of the Khumus of Hunain to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you distributed it to our brothers; Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf, and you did not give us anything, and our relationship to you in the same as theirs. 'The Messenger of Allah said to them: 'I see that Hashim and Al-Muttalib are the same." Jubair bin Mut'im said: "The Messenger of Allah did not allocate anything to Banu 'Abd Shams or Banu Nawfal from that Khumus, as he allocated to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4136)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ هُوَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلَانِهِ لَمَّا قَسَمَ فَيْءَ خَيْبَرَ بَيْنَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَسَمْتَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَلَمْ تُعْطِنَا شَيْئًا وَقَرَابَتُنَا مِثْلُ قَرَابَتِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا هَاشِمٌ وَالْمُطَّلِبُ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ وَقَالَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَلَا لِبَنِي نَوْفَلٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْخُمُسِ شَيْئًا كَمَا قَسَمَ لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed the share of Ghaneemah (spoils of war) from Khaybar among the Bani Hashim and the Bani Muttalib, I walked with Uthman ibn Affan. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are your brothers from the Bani Hashim, we do not deny their favor because of the position Allah has given you among them. But what do you think about our brothers from the Bani Muttalib whom you have given and left us, even though we and they are in the same status?" He replied, "They did not leave us in the time of ignorance nor in Islam. The Bani Hashim and the Bani Muttalib are one thing." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intertwined his fingers of one hand with the other hand and said, "They are like this." Then Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn al-Hasan narrated to us, who narrated to us from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, who narrated to us from Rabee'ah ibn Sulayman, who narrated to us from al-Shafi'i, who narrated to us from Muttarif ibn Mazin, who narrated to us from Ma'mar ibn Rashid, who narrated to us from Ibn Shihab, who said, "Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im narrated to me, as you have described. So, Ibn Shihab added the narration of Yunus and Muhammad ibn Ishaq from Ibn Shihab, from Ibn al-Musayyib, from Jubayr, who said that al-Shafi'i mentioned this, so I mentioned it to Muttarif ibn Mazin, and he said, "Ma'mar narrated it to me exactly as you described." And perhaps Ibn Shihab said... [the translation cuts off here]
لَمَّا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَهْمَ ذِي الْقُرْبَى مِنْ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ مَشَيْتُ أَنَا وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَؤُلَاءِ إِخْوَانُكَ بَنُو هَاشِمٍ لَا نُنْكِرُ فَضْلَهُمْ لِمَكَانِكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ أَرَأَيْتَ إِخْوَانَنَا مِنْ بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ أَعْطَيْتَهُمْ وَتَرَكْتَنَا وَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ وَهُمْ مِنْكَ بِمَنْزِلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُفَارِقُونَا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ إِنَّمَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُو الْمُطَّلِبِ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ ثُمَّ شَبَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فِي الْأُخْرَى 12954 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ مَازِنٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَهْمَ ذِي الْقُرْبَى بَيْنَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ أَتَيْتُهُ أَنَا وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ لَمْ يُفَارِقُونَا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُو الْمُطَّلِبِ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الشَّافِعِيُّ حَدِيثَ يُونُسَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِمُطَرِّفِ بْنِ مَازِنٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ كَمَا وَصَفْتَ فَلَعَلَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ
[Machine] I walked with Fulan to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, have you favored the sons of Muttalib and neglected us, while we and they are of the same status in relation to you?" He ﷺ said, "The sons of Hashim and the sons of Muttalib are one thing, Ibrahim ibn Isma'il and Muttarif ibn Mazen were weak individuals. And in a narration from the majority of scholars, from Al-Zuhri, from Ibn Al-Musayyib, from Jubair, it is sufficient."
مَشَيْتُ أَنَا وَفُلَانٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْطَيْتَ بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ وَتَرَكْتَنَا وَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ وَهُمْ إِلَيْكَ بِمَنْزِلٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنَّمَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُو الْمُطَّلِبِ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَمُطَرِّفُ بْنُ مَازِنٍ ضَعِيفَانِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ جُبَيْرٍ كِفَايَةٌ
‘Ali bin Abi Talib said “I had an old she Camel that I got as my share from the booty on the day of Badr. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ also gave me an old she camel from the fifth that day. When I intended to cohabit with Fathimah daughter of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I made arrangement with a man who was a goldsmith belonging to Banu Qainuqa’ to go with me so that we may bring grass. I intended to sell it to the goldsmith there by seeking help in my wedding feast. While I was collecting for my old Camels saddles, baskets and ropes both of she Camels were seated in a corner of the apartment of a man of the Ansar. When I collected what I collected (i.e., equipment) I turned (towards them). I suddenly found that the humps of she Camels were cut off and their hips were pierced and their lives were taken out. I could not control my eyes (to weep) when I saw that scene. I said “Who has done this?” They (the people) replied “Hamzah bin ‘Abd Al Muttalib”. He is among the drunkards of the Ansar in this house. A singing girl is singing for him and his Companions. While singing she said “Oh Hamza, rise to these plumpy old she Camels. So he jumped to the sword and cut off their humps, pierced their hips and took out their livers.” ‘Ali said “I went till I entered upon the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while Zaid bin Harithah was with him.” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ realized what I had met with. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ aid “What is the matter with you?” I said Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I never saw the thing that happened with me today. Hamzah wronged my she Camels, he cut off their humps, pierced their hips. Lo! He is in a house with drunkards. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ asked for his cloak. It was brought to him. He then went out, I and Zaid bin Harithah followed him until we reached the house where Hamzah was. He asked permission ( to entre). He was permitted. He found drunkards there. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ began to rebuke him (Hamzah) for his action. Hamzah was intoxicated and his eyes were reddish. Hamzah looked at the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. He then raised his eyes and looked at his knees, he then raised his eyes and looked at his navel and he then raised his eyes and looked at his face. Hamzah then said “Are you but the salves of my father? Then the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ knew that he was intoxicated. So the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ moved backward. He then went out and we also went out with him.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2986)
كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَانِي شَارِفًا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلًا صَوَّاغًا مِنْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي فَنَأْتِيَ بِإذْخِرٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ فَأَسْتَعِينُ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ لِشَارِفِيَّ مَتَاعًا مِنَ الْأَقْتَابِ وَالْغَرَائِرِ وَالْحَبَائِلِ وَشَارِفَايَ مُنَاخَتَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَرَجَعْتُ حِينَ جَمَعْتُ ما جَمَعْتُ وَإِذَا شَارِفَايَ قَدِ اجْتُبَّتْ أَسْنِمَتُهُمَا وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصِرُهُمَا وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنِي حِينَ رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ الْمَنْظَرَ مِنْهُمَا فَقُلْتُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَهُوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فِي شَرْبٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ غَنَّتْهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَتْ فِي غِنَائِهَا [البحر الوافر] أَلَا يَا حَمْزُ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ وَهُنَّ مُعَقَّلَاتٌ بِالْفِنَاءِ فَقَامَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ فَاجْتَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِيَ الَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَاذَا؟ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتِيَّ وَاجْتَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا وَهَا هُوَ ذَا مَعَهَ شَرْبٌ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرِدَائِهِ فَارْتَدَى ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي وَاتبعته أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأَذِنُوا لَهُ فَإِذَا هُمْ شَرْبٌ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ وَإِذَا حَمْزَةُ ثَمِلٌ مُحْمَرَّةٌ عَيْنَاهُ فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى سُرَّتِهِ ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا عَبِيدٌ لِأَبِي فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ثَمِلٌ فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ الْقَهْقَرَى فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Ali to Khalid bin Walid to collect the fifth (due to the caliphate). Ali took a slave girl from him, and in the morning his head was dripping. Khalid said to Buraydah, "Don't you see what he is doing?" He said, "And I used to dislike Ali." So I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he said, "O Buraydah, do you dislike Ali?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then love him, for he has more than that from the fifth."
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا ؓ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ لِيَقْبِضَ الْخُمُسَ فَأَخَذَ منهِ جَارِيَةً فَأَصْبَحَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ لِبُرَيْدَةَ أَلَا تَرَى مَا يَصْنَعُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَتُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَحِبَّهُ؛ فَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي الْخُمُسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
That he and 'Uthman b. 'Affan went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ talking to him about the fifth which he divided among the Banu Hisham and Abu 'Abd al-Muttalib. I said: Messenger of Allah, you have divided (the fifth) among our brethren Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib, but you have not given us anything, though our relationship to you is the same as theirs. The Prophet ﷺ said: The Banu Hisham and the Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib are one. Jubair said: He did not divide the fifth among the Banu 'Abd Shams and the Banu Nawfal as he divided among the Banu Hashim and the Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib. He said: Abu Bakr used to divide the fifth like the division of Messenger of Allah ﷺ except that he did not give the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as he gave them. 'Umar b. al-Khattab and 'Uthman after him used to give them (a portion) from it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2978)
هُوَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ يُكَلِّمَانِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا قَسَمَ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ بَيْنَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَسَمْتَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ وَلَمْ تُعْطِنَا شَيْئًا وَقَرَابَتُنَا وقرابتهم وَاحِدَةٌ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُوُ الْمُطَّلِبِ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَلَا لِبَنِي نَوْفَلٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْخُمُسِ كَمَا قَسَمَ لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ يَقْسِمُ الْخُمُسَ نَحْوَ قَسْمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعْطِي قُرْبَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْطِيهِمْ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يُعْطِيهِمْ مِنْهُ وَعُثْمَانُ ؓ بَعْدَهُ
[Machine] People were divided into two groups following the death of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Some said that the arrow should be given to the Prophet's relatives due to their connection to him, while others said it should go to the caliphate. There were also those who believed that the arrow should be for the caliphate after the Prophet ﷺ . They eventually agreed to use both arrows for horses and equipment in the path of Allah. This decision was made during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and Umar.
النَّاسُ فِي هَذَيْنِ السَّهْمَيْنِ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَائِلُونَ سَهْمُ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى لِقَرَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ قَائِلُونَ لِقَرَابَةِ الْخَلِيفَةِ وَقَالَ قَائِلُونَ سَهْمُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِلْخَلِيفَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَاجْتَمَعَ رَأْيُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْعَلُوا هَذَيْنِ السَّهْمَيْنِ فِي الْخَيْلِ وَالْعُدَّةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَكَانَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ
[Machine] Ali, was he on the side of Ali? He said, "He followed the path of Abu Bakr and Umar." He said, "I asked, how and why do you say what you say?" He said, "By Allah, they did not speak except based on their own opinions. But Ali disliked being opposed to Abu Bakr and Umar." And in the narration of Ahmad ibn Khalid al-Wahbi, he said, "By Allah, the people of his household did not speak except based on their own opinions. But he disliked being accused of opposing Abu Bakr and Umar." And likewise...
عَلِيٌّ ؓ فِي سَهْمِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى؟ قَالَ سَلَكَ بِهِ طَرِيقَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ مَا تَقُولُونَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا كَانُوا يَصْدُرُونَ إِلَّا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ خِلَافُ أَبِي بَكْرِ وَعُمَرَ ؓ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيِّ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ يَصْدُرُونَ إِلَّا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ خِلَافُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ وَكَذَلِكَ
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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2983)
ؓ يَقُولُ وَلَّانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُمُسَ الْخُمُسِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ مَوَاضِعَهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَيَاةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَحَيَاةَ عُمَرَ ؓ زَادَ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِمَالٍ فَدَعَانِي فَقَالَ خُذْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَا أُرِيدُهُ قَالَ خُذْهُ؛ فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ قُلْتُ قَدِ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ
[Machine] "He (the narrator) says: I, Abbas, Fatimah, and Zaid ibn Harithah gathered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abbas then asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have aged, my bones have weakened, and my knees are burdened. If you see fit, please command me to do certain tasks and provide me with a portion of food.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed to his request and ordered accordingly. Then Fatimah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am entitled to the inheritance that you have already mentioned. If you see fit, please command me (to reclaim it) as you commanded my uncle.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed to her request as well. Then Zaid ibn Harithah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you once gave me a piece of land to live in, but then you took it back from me. If you see fit, please return it to me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed to his request too. I (the narrator) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if you see fit, please grant me our rightful share of the fifth (in the distribution of war spoils), and I swear by your life that no one will dispute it with me after you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed to my request. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to Abbas and said: 'O Abu Al-Fadl, don't you ask me what your nephew asked?' Abbas replied: 'O Messenger of Allah, my request has ended with what you were asked.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then made an oath on behalf of Abbas' life, just as he did for himself, and then on behalf of Abu Bakr, and then on behalf of Umar, until the last year of Umar's life. At that time, he received a substantial amount of wealth and he distributed our share to us. Then he sent for me and said: 'This wealth is yours, divide it as you used to divide (the spoils).' I said: 'O Commander of the Believers, we have become self-sufficient from it, but the Muslims still have a need for it.' So he returned it to them that year. After Umar, no one asked us for our share until I reached this position of mine. I met Abbas after leaving Umar's presence and he said to me: 'O Ali, you have deprived us of breakfast that will never be denied to us until the Day of Judgment.' And Abbas was a discerning man."

[Machine] Ali was sitting by the olive trees, so I asked him, "By my father and mother, what did Abu Bakr and Umar do in regards to your rights as the people of the household when it comes to the fifth?". Ali replied, "As for Abu Bakr, may Allah have mercy on him, he did not collect the fifth during his time, and he fulfilled what he owed us. As for Umar, he continuously gave it to us until the wealth of Saws and Ahwaz came to him, or he said Ahwaz, or he said Fars." Shafi'i said, "I doubt." He said in the hadith of Matr or the other hadith, "He said in the Muslims, Khalah. So if you wish, I will leave your right and I will put it with the Muslims until the wealth comes to me and I will fulfill your right from that." Abbas said to Ali, "Do not expect him to fulfill our right." So I said to him, "O Abu Al-Fadl, aren't we more deserving of a response from the Commander of the Faithful and for him to lift the burden of the Muslims?" Umar passed away before the wealth came to him to distribute it, and the judge said in the hadith of Matr and the other hadith, "Umar said to you, 'You have a right, and my knowledge does not suffice when it becomes abundant for you to have it all. If you wish, I will give you from it according to what I see for you." So we disputed with him, except that he refused to give us all of it. Shafi'i said in what I have not heard from Abu Zakariya, and Az-Zuhri narrated from Ibn Abbas something close to this meaning, and he mentioned it in the past from the hadith of Yunus from Az-Zuhri.
عَلِيًّا ؓ عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا فَعَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ فِي حَقِّكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي زَمَانِهِ أَخْمَاسٌ وَمَا كَانَ فَقَدْ أَوْفَانَاهُ وَأَمَّا عُمَرُ ؓ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعْطِينَاهُ حَتَّى جَاءَهُ مَالُ السُّوسِ وَالْأَهْوَازِ أَوْ قَالَ الْأَهْوَازِ أَوْ قَالَ فَارِسَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ أَنَا أَشُكُّ فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ مَطَرٍ أَوْ حَدِيثِ الْآخَرِ فَقَالَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَلَّةٌ فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ حَقَّكُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي خَلَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنَا مَالٌ فَأُوَفِّيَكُمْ حَقَّكُمْ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ لَا تُطْمِعْهُ فِي حَقِّنَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ أَلَسْنَا أَحَقَّ مَنْ أَجَابَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَفَعَ خَلَّةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَتُوُفِّيَ عُمَرُ ؓ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ مَالٌ فَيَقْضِيَنَاهُ وَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ فِي حَدِيثِ مَطَرٍ وَالْآخَرِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ لَكُمْ حَقٌّ وَلَا يَبْلُغُ عِلْمِي إِذَا كَثُرَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكُمْ كُلُّهُ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا أَرَى لَكُمْ فَأَبَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كُلَّهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا كُلَّهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِيمَا لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا وَقَدْ رَوَى الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَرِيبًا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَعْنَى وَذَكَرَهُ فِي الْقَدِيمِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
Yazid ibn Hurmuz said that when Najdah al-Haruri performed hajj during the rule of Ibn az-Zubayr, he sent someone to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the portion of the relatives (in the fifth). He asked: For whom do you think? Ibn Abbas replied: For the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it among them. Umar presented it to us but we found it less than our right. We, therefore returned it to him and refused to accept it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2982)
ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِقُرْبَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَسَمَهُ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ عَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَرْضًا رَأَيْنَاهُ دُونَ حَقِّنَا فَرَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَبَيْنَا أَنْ نَقْبَلَهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ
"Najdah wrote to Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about the share of the relatives (of the Messenger of Allah), to whom should it be given?" Yazid bin Hurmuz said:"I wrote down the letter of Ibn 'Abbas to Najdah in which he said; You have written asking me about the share of the relatives (of the Messenger of Allah), to whom should it be given? It is for us, the members of the household (Ahl Al-Bait). 'Umar used to offer to help the single among us (to get married), and to give some to our poor and to pay off the debts of our debtors. We insisted that he should given it to us, but he refused, and we left it at that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4134)
عَنْ سَهْمِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى لِمَنْ هُوَ؟ فَهُوَ لَنَا وَقَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ دَعَانَا إِلَى أَنْ يُنْكِحَ مِنْهُ أَيِّمَنَا وَيُخْدِمَ مِنْهُ عَائِلَنَا وَيَقْضِيَ مِنْهُ عَنْ غَارِمِنَا فَأَبَيْنَا إِلَّا أَنْ يُسْلِمَهُ لَنَا وَأَبَى أَنْ يَفْعَلَ فَتَرَكْنَاهُ
[Machine] About the slave and the woman who are present at the spoils, do they have any share of the spoils? He wrote asking him about the killing of children, so he said: "Write, O Yazid, if it were not for the ignorance that I do not want to act. I asked him about the relatives, who are they? So we claimed that we were them, but our people refused that upon us. And you wrote asking about the slave and the woman who are present at the spoils, they have nothing except that they should be given provisions. And you wrote asking about the children, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not kill them, and you should not kill them unless you know from them what the companion of Musa knew about the boy. And you asked about the orphan when is his maturity fulfilled? His maturity is fulfilled when he reaches the age of discernment."
