(In another narration) Anas said: "Some wealth was brought to the Prophet from Bahrain. Al `Abbas came to him and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Give me (some of it), as I have paid my and `Aqil's ransom.' The Prophet said, 'Take,' and gave him in his garment."

Hadith Commentary:
And the truth is that the mentioned wealth was from kharaj or jizyah, and both are from the wealth of public interests (mal al-masalih), meaning that wealth was from kharaj or jizyah, therefore it was permissible for Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) to take it. A detailed explanation will come in the Book of Jizyah, insha Allah Ta'ala.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
From this hadith, Ibn Battal rahimahullah has deduced that it is permissible to give the wealth of zakat to polytheists (mushrikin), although this deduction is questionable because the wealth that came from Bahrain was not zakat wealth, rather it was wealth from kharaj (land tax) or jizya (tribute).
Therefore, it was permissible for Abbas radi Allahu anhu to take it,
because they were absolutely not entitled to zakat wealth.
➋
In any case, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established from this that, in times of necessity, it is permissible to accept wealth or similar things from polytheist prisoners in exchange for granting them release.
