حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُهَاجِرِ بْنِ قُنْفُذٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ ، قَالَ وَكِيعٌ : كَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ ، قَالَ : " غَزَوْتُ مَعَ مَوْلَايَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِي مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ ، وَأُعْطِيتُ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ سَيْفًا ، فَكُنْتُ أَجُرُّهُ إِذَا تَقَلَّدْتُهُ " .
´‘Umair, the freed slave of Aabi Lahm – Waki’ said; - “He used to not eat meat” – said:` “I fought alongside my master on the Day of Khaibar, and I was a slave. I was not given anything from the spoils of war but I was given from the least of the utensils (goods) a sword, which I dragged when I put it around my waist.”
Brief Explanation
1؎: This is because either the sword would be long or their stature would be short, but whatever the Imam deems appropriate, he may give them as a reward. In Sahih Muslim, it is narrated from Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu that a person asked him: Was there a fixed share for slaves and women when they were present with the people? He replied that there was no fixed share for either of them, except that something from the spoils of war (mal-e-ghanīmah) would be given to them. And in another narration, it is stated that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to keep women in jihad; they would treat the wounded, and some reward from the spoils of war would be given to them, but their share was not fixed.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The meaning of "Abi al-Lahm" is one who refrains from eating meat.
He became famous by this name because, even before the advent of Islam, he would not eat meat slaughtered in the name of anyone other than Allah.
His name is reported as Khalaf. (Taqreeb al-Tahdheeb)
➋
Minor boys and slaves can also participate in jihad.
➌
Those individuals who are not given an allotted share from the spoils of war (maal-e-ghanīmah) should still be given some reward.
➍
The reason the sword would touch the ground was that the stature of Hazrat Umair radi Allahu anhu was short due to his young age.
