حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّ جَيْشًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا بِأَرْضِ فَارِسَ مَعَ أَمِيرِهِمْ ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يُعْقِبُ الْجُيُوشَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَشُغِلَ عَنْهُمْ عُمَرُ ، فَلَمَّا مَرَّ الأَجَلُ قَفَلَ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ الثَّغْرِ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَتَوَاعَدَهُمْ وَهُمْ أَصْحَاب رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا : يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّكَ غَفَلْتَ عَنَّا وَتَرَكْتَ فِينَا الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِعْقَابِ بَعْضِ الْغَزِيَّةِ بَعْضًا .
Narrated Abdullah bin Kab bin Malik al-Ansari: An expedition of the Ansar was operating in Persia with their leader. Umar used to send expeditions by turns every year, but he neglected them. When the expired, the people of expedition appointed on the frontier came back. He (Umar) took serious action against them and threatened them, though they were the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: Umar you neglected us, and abandoned the practice for which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded to send the detachments by turns.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
During the era of Umar radi Allahu anhu, lists and classifications were formally established for the mujahideen and other people who used to receive shares from the spoils of war (ghanimah). This was done so that no person would be deprived, and everyone would receive their share according to their rank. The reason for the delay on the part of Umar radi Allahu anhu was also this—that he was preparing these lists. (Badh al-Majhud) In the time of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the numbers were not so great that their management would have been impossible without written lists. Therefore, this task was not considered necessary at that time. In the era of Umar radi Allahu anhu, when the numbers increased, even then Umar radi Allahu anhu would send them in turns. This means that lists of the mujahideen were present, by which the order of turns was determined.
