[Machine] Abu Bakr's first year, he distributed money equally among the people, giving each person ten dirhams. In the second year, he gave them twenty dirhams each, with some extra dirhams remaining. Then he addressed the people, saying, "O people, this extra money is a favor from me to you. You have servants who take care of your needs and work for you. If you agree, I can give them some of this money." They agreed, so he gave each of the servants five dirhams. It is mentioned in this narration that the money he allocated for the servants was done with the permission of their masters, so it is as if their masters gave it to them. And Allah knows best.
وَلِيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ السَّنَةَ الْأُولَى فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَأَصَابَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانِ عَشْرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ ثُمَّ قَسَمَ السَّنَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَصَابَهُمْ عِشْرُونَ دِرْهَمًا وَفَضَلَتْ عِنْدَهُ دُرَيْهِمَاتٌ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ فَضَلَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ دُرَيْهَمَاتٌ وَلَكُمْ خَدَمٌ يُعَالِجُونَ لَكُمْ وَيَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَكُمْ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ رَضَخْنَا لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا افْعَلْ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ إِنْ صَحَّتْ بَيَانُ الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي قَسَمَ لِأَجْلِهِ لِلْعَبِيدِ وَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ رَضْخًا بِإِذْنِ سَادَاتِهِمْ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَعْطَاهُ سَادَاتِهِمْ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
