ذِكْرُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ الْقِسْمَةُ فِي ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى مِنَ السَّهْمِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

ibnhibban:4824Abū Yaʿlá > Abū Khaythamah > ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Yūnus b. Yazīd > al-Zuhrī > Yazīd b. Hurmuz

when Najdah Al-Haruriyyah rebelled during the Fitnah of Ibn Zubayr, he sent word to Ibn 'Abbas asking him about the share of the relatives (of the Messenger of Allah) -to whom did he think it should be given? He replied: "It is for us, because of our blood ties to the Messenger of Allah allocated it to them, but 'Umar offered us something we thought was less than what was our due, and we refused to accept it. What he offered to them who wanted to get married, and to help the debtors pay off their debts, and he gave to their indigent. But he refused to give them more than that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4133)   

ابن حبّان:٤٨٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ أَنَّ نَجْدَةَ الْحَرُورِيَّ خَرَجَ فِي فِتْنَةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ سَهْمِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى لِمَنْ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ

«هُوَ لِأَقْرِبَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَسَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَهُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ عَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْهُ عَرْضًا رَأَيْنَاهُ دُونَ حَقِّنَا فَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَبَيْنَا أَنْ نَقْبَلَهُ فَكَانَ عَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُعِينَ نَاكِحَهُمْ وَأَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْ غَارِمِهِمْ وَأَنْ يُعْطِيَ فَقِيرَهُمْ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَزِيدَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ»

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.

[Machine] About the arrow belonging to Zil-Qurba, who will say to those who see it? Ibn Abbas said, it belonged to the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it among them. Umar once offered us something from it that we saw as more than our rights, so we rejected it and refused to accept it. He also offered them to help with their marriages, settle their debts, give to the poor, but they refused to accept anything beyond that.
