عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ أَمْوَالُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِصَةً وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنْهَا نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ وَفِي لَفْظٍ قُوتَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا بَقِيَ جَعَلَهُ فِي الْكُرَاعِ وَالسِّلَاحِ عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, that the wealth of Banu Nadir was that which Allah Almighty gave to His Messenger as fay’ (spoils of war without battle). The Muslims had not made their horses and riding animals run to acquire this wealth, so this wealth was purely for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him (and he could dispose of it as he wished). Thus, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would keep provisions for his family for one year from it, and whatever remained, he would spend on horses and weapons in preparation for the cause of Allah.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would dispose of the wealth of fay’ as he deemed appropriate for himself, his relatives, orphans, the needy, and travelers. The distribution of this wealth was dependent upon the will of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; no one had any specific right in it.
