[Machine] That Omar mandated five thousand for the people of Badr and said, "I will prioritize them over others."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ فَرَضَ لِأَهْلِ بَدْرٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ وَقَالَ لَأُفَضِّلَنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ
ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab fixed a grant of 4000 (Dirhams) for every Early Emigrant (i.e. Muhajir) and fixed a grant of 3500 (Dirhams) only for Ibn ʿUmar. Somebody said to ʿUmar, "Ibn ʿUmar is also one of the Early Emigrants; why do you give him less than four-thousand?" ʿUmar replied, "His parents took him with them when they migrated, so he was not like the one who had migrated by himself. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3912)
كَانَ فَرَضَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ وَفَرَضَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسَمِائَةٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هُوَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَبِمَ تُنْقِصُهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَاجَرَ بِهِ أَبَوَاهُ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ كَمَنْ هَاجَرَ بِنَفْسِهِ
[Machine] Make the love of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ equal to the love of myself?
أَجْعَلُ حِبَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَحِبِّ نَفْسِي؟
[Machine] Allah divides it and I am the first among the family of the Prophet ﷺ, then the noblest of them. He prescribed for the wives of the Prophet ﷺ except Juwairiyah, Safiyah, and Maymunah. Aisha said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be fair between us, so he was fair between them and Umar. Then he said, 'Indeed, I am the first among me and my companions, the first emigrants. We were expelled from our homes unjustly and aggressively, then the noblest of them. He prescribed for the companions of Badr five thousand from among them and four thousand for those who witnessed Badr from the Ansar, and prescribed for those who witnessed Hudaybiyyah three thousand. He said, 'Whoever hastens in migration, his gift is hastened, and whoever delays in migration, his gift is delayed. So, no man is to blame except he who lags behind his camel.'"
اللهُ يَقْسِمُهُ وَأَنَا بَادِئٌ بِأَهْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَشْرَفِهِمْ فَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَّا جُوَيْرِيَةَ وَصَفِيَّةَ وَمَيْمُونَةَ ؓنَّ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْدِلُ بَيْنَنَا فَعَدَلَ بَيْنَهُنَّ عُمَرُ ؓ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي بَادِئٌ بِي وَبِأَصْحَابِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ فَإِنَّا أُخْرِجْنَا مِنْ دِيَارِنَا ظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا ثُمَّ أَشْرَفِهِمْ فَفَرَضَ لِأَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ وَلِمَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ وَفَرَضَ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَقَالَ مَنْ أَسْرَعَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ أَسْرَعَ بِهِ الْعَطَاءُ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ الْعَطَاءُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا مَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتِهِ
[Machine] Indeed, you are weary. Return to your house and sleep, then come to me tomorrow morning." He said, "So I went to him the next morning, and he said, 'What did you bring?' I said, 'Five hundred thousand.' He said, 'All right?' I said, 'Yes, I don't know except that.' He said, 'Then he said to the people, 'Indeed, a lot of wealth has come to me. If you want us to distribute it to you, we will count it for you, and if you want us to measure it for you, we will measure it for you.' Then a man said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, I saw these non-Arab people writing down a record and giving it to the people.' He said, 'So he wrote down the records and imposed upon the Emigrants five thousand each and upon the Ansar four thousand each, and he imposed upon the wives of the Prophet ﷺ twelve thousand each.'"
إِنَّكَ نَاعِسٌ ارْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ فَنَمْ ثُمَّ اغْدُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ؟ قُلْتُ خَمْسُمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ قَالَ طَيِّبٌ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا ذَاكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ نَعُدَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدًّا وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ نَكِيلَهُ لَكُمْ كَيْلًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمَ يُدَوِّنُونَ دِيوَانًا يُعْطُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَدَوَّنَ الدَّوَاوِينَ وَفَرَضَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَلْفٍ خَمْسَةَ أَلْفٍ وَلِلْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَلْفٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَلْفٍ وَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away. Some money came from Bahrain. Abu Bakr said, "Whoever has any belongings or debts owed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let him come and take it." Jabir ibn Abdullah stood up and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I receive any money from Bahrain, I will give you this and this,' indicating with his hand. So Abu Bakr said to him, 'Get up and take it with your hand.' So he took it, and it was five hundred (dirhams). Abu Bakr said, 'Count it for him one thousand and divide it among the people, ten dirhams each.' And he said, 'Indeed, these are the dates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed for the people, so when the coming year arrives and there is more money than this, divide it among the people twenty dirhams each.' And there was a surplus, so he divided it among the servants, five dirhams each. Abu Bakr said, 'Indeed, you have servants who serve you and treat you, so we have set aside for them.' They said, 'If you prefer the Muhajirun and the Ansar over others due to their precedence and their status with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then the reward of those is upon Allah.' Abu Bakr said, 'Indeed, this is the livelihood that the Prophet ﷺ was upon. It is better than the accumulated wealth.' So he did this for them and held it until he died in the year thirteen in the month of Jumada al-Akhira, with a few nights remaining. Then Umar ibn al-Khattab took charge and the conquests came, and wealth came to him. So he said, 'Indeed, Abu Bakr saw something in this wealth that I see differently. I will not make the one who fought alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ equal to the one who fought against him.' So he allocated five thousand dirhams for the Muhajirun and the Ansar who witnessed the Battle of Badr, five thousand for Islam, like the Islam of the people of Badr who did not witness the battle, and four thousand for those who did not witness Badr. He allocated twelve thousand for the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, except for Safiyyah and Juwayriyyah, so he allocated six thousand for them, but they refused to accept it because they said, 'Indeed, you only allocated this for them due to their status as the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we had the same status. 'Umar knew of that, so he allocated twelve thousand for them, twelve thousand for Abbas, four thousand for Usamah ibn Zaid, and three thousand for Abdullah ibn Umar. Abdullah said, 'Oh father, why did you increase it by a thousand? The preference of Abu Usamah over your father, and Usamah was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than you.' Umar said, 'The father of Usamah is more beloved to me than your father, and Usamah was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than you.' So he allocated five thousand for Hasan and Husayn and joined them with their father due to their status with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He allocated two thousand for the sons of the Muhajirun and the Ansar, two thousand each. Umar passed by Uthman, so he said, 'Increase it by one thousand for him.' Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Jahsh said to him, 'What occurred with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'I see nothing except that he has been killed.' So I said, 'He was indeed killed, so he unsheathed his sword and broke its scabbard,' he said, 'If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has indeed been killed, then Allah is ever-living and does not die

[Machine] Write Omar's age on five thousand and write mine on four thousand,' said Abdullah. 'I don't want this,' Abdullah said. Omar said, 'By Allah, I cannot and you cannot be together on five thousand.
