بَابُ مَا أَقْطَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، وَمَا وَعَدَ مِنْ مَالِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ وَالْجِزْيَةِ، وَلِمَنْ يُقْسَمُ الْفَيْءُ وَالْجِزْيَةُ؟Chapter. What grants the Prophet (p.b.u.h) gave from the land of Bahrain, and what he promised to give (some people) from the Bahrain money resources and from Al-Jizya. And to whom should the Fai (i.e., booty gained without fight) and the Jizya be distributed?

اُردوEn
وَقَالَ : إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَالٍ مِنْ الْبَحْرَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : انْثُرُوهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَالٍ أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي إِنِّي فَادَيْتُ نَفْسِي وَفَادَيْتُ عَقِيلًا ، قَالَ : خُذْ فَحَثَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ ، فَقَالَ : أمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَيَّ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : لَا ، فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ، فَقَالَ : فَمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعْهُ عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : لَا ، فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ احْتَمَلَهُ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَمَا زَالَ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا عَجَبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهِ فَمَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَثَمَّ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمٌ " .
Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet . He said, "Spread it in the Mosque." It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah's Apostle . In the meantime Al-`Abbas came to him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and `Aqil." The Prophet said (to him), "Take." He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, "Will you order someone to help me in lifting it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al-`Abbas said, "Then will you yourself help me carry it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al `Abbas threw away some of the money, but even then he was not able to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet "Will you order someone to help me carry it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al-`Abbas said, "Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?" The Prophet said, 'No." So, Al-`Abbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away. The Prophet kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our sight. Allah's Apostle did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.

Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established the third aspect: that regarding the wealth of fay’ and jizyah, the leader (imam) of the time has the authority to give as much as he wishes to whomever he wishes from it.
Some scholars hold the view that the imam should distribute the wealth of fay’ or jizyah equally among all and should not give preference to one over another. However, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah states:
It is at the discretion of the imam whether he gives equally to all the warriors (mujahideen), or gives more to some and less to others.
The practice of Hazrat Abbas radi Allahu anhu also establishes that the imam has complete authority in this matter—whether to distribute equally or to give preference to some over others.
And Allah knows best.
