Majma al-Zawaid 6484 — Selling spoils of war before they are divided

Al-Qasim bin Abd al-Rahman narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to regard selling sadaqah (charity) as permissible even if it had not been taken into possession, whereas Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Qadi Shurayh did not regard it as permissible until it had been taken into possession. And the view of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and Qadi Shurayh is preferred by Sufyan.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; the narrator al-Qasim did not meet Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), and its chain contains a narrator Jabir al-Ju'fi, whom Shu'bah and others declared trustworthy, while the majority of the imams declared him da'if (weak).
