بَابٌ فِي أَوَّلِ أَمِيرٍ كَانَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ
The first commander in Islam
Majma al-Zawaid 9939 — The first commander in Islam
وَعَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ : أَوَّلُ رَايَةٍ رُفِعَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ رَايَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ ، وَأَوَّلُ مَالٍ خُمِّسَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، مَالُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ . رَوَاهُمَا الطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ وَاحِدٍ ، وَهُوَ إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ .
Zirr bin Hubaysh narrates: The first banner raised in Islam was the banner of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him), and the first wealth from which the khums (one-fifth) was taken in Islam was the wealth brought by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) (or the wealth that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) received as khums). Al-Tabarani recorded both these narrations with a single chain, and that chain is hasan (good).
