عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ يَقُولُ لَمَّا افْتَتَحْنَا مِصْرَ بِغَيْرِ عَهْدٍ قَامَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ الْعَاصِ اقْسِمْهَا فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو لَا أَقْسِمُهَا فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَاللَّهِ لَتَقْسِمَنَّهَا كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْسِمُهَا حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ أَنْ أَقِرَّهَا حَتَّى يَغْزُوَ مِنْهَا حَبَلُ الْحَبَلَةِ
It is narrated from Sufyan bin Wahb Khawlani, he says: When we conquered Egypt without any treaty, Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Amr bin Al-Aas! Distribute it, but he said: I will not distribute it. Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! You will certainly distribute it just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed Khaybar. He said: By Allah! I will not distribute it until I write its details and send them to the Commander of the Faithful. Then he wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Commander of the Faithful replied with this order: Keep it as it is, until the children in the wombs of pregnant women participate in jihad.
