56.120 The labourer

٥٦۔١٢٠ باب الأَجِيرِ

[Machine] Hasan and Ibn Sirin said that the captive should receive a portion from the spoils. Atiyyah ibn Qays took a horse as a gift, dividing it in half. The value of the horse reached four hundred dinars, so he took two hundred and gave the other two hundred to its owner.

وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَابْنُ سِيرِينَ يُقْسَمُ لِلأَجِيرِ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ. وَأَخَذَ عَطِيَّةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَرَسًا عَلَى النِّصْفِ، فَبَلَغَ سَهْمُ الْفَرَسِ أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، فَأَخَذَ مِائَتَيْنِ وَأَعْطَى صَاحِبَهُ مِائَتَيْنِ.

I participated in the Ghazwa of Tabuk along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I gave a young camel to be ridden in Jihad and that was, to me, one of my best deeds. Then I employed a laborer who quarrelled with another person. One of them bit the hand of the other and the latter drew his hand from the mouth of the former pulling out his front tooth. Then the former instituted a suit against the latter before the Prophet who rejected that suit saying, "Do you expect him to put out his hand for you to snap as a male camel snaps (vegetation)?"  

البخاري:٢٩٧٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ فَهْوَ أَوْثَقُ أَعْمَالِي فِي نَفْسِي فَاسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا فَقَاتَلَ رَجُلاً فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ وَنَزَعَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَهْدَرَهَا فَقَالَ أَيَدْفَعُ يَدَهُ إِلَيْكَ فَتَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ
