[Machine] "Mawla ibn Umar says, 'The people have gained victory in Sham, as Bilal, who I believe resembles Muadh bin Jabal, is among them.' So they wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Indeed, this booty that we have gained is one-fifth for you and what remains belongs to us. None of it is to be given to anyone else, just as the Prophet ﷺ did with Khaybar.' Umar wrote back, 'It is not as you have said, but I will uphold it for the Muslims. Review the book and consult them, and if they agree, I am willing. But when they refused, Umar stood up and prayed against them, saying, 'O Allah, spare me Bilal and the companions of Bilal.' The outcome was such that all of them died.' The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'His statement is not intended to deny what they argued about the division of Khaybar. We have heard it narrated from Umar through the Prophet ﷺ, and it is similar that he did not intend with it what you have said. The benefit is not in what you have said, but the benefit is that I upheld it for the Muslims.' He chose to refuse their share because of what he hoped for in their allegiance, and they refused what was rightfully theirs. However, when they refused, the ruling to take it from their hands and confiscate it was not imposed on them. But he prayed against them because they opposed him in what he saw as beneficial. If they had agreed, the people and their followers would have agreed, and the hadith is mutawatir. Allah knows best, and we have heard it narrated in the Book of Division in the conquest of Egypt that Umar saw it and Zubayr ibn al-Awwam saw it, just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided Khaybar."
