قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ - نَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ الْأَزْهَرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الرَّهَاوِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَبَقَتْ أَمَةٌ فَلَحِقَتْ بِالْعَدُوِّ ، فَاغْتَنَمَهَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ ، فَعَرَفَهَا الْمُرَادِيُّونَ ، فَأَتَوْا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : أَمَتُنَا أَبَقَتْ مِنَّا . فَقَالَ : مَا عِنْدِي فِي هَذَا عِلْمٌ ، وَلَكِنِّي كَاتِبٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَانْتَظَرُوا كِتَابَهُ ، فَسَكَتَ الْمُرَادِيُّونَ حِينًا ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ جَاءَنِي كِتَابُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي أَمَتِكُمْ : إِنْ خُمِّسَتْ وَقُسِمَتْ فَسَبِيلُ ذَلِكَ ، وَإِلَّا فَارْدُدْهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ، فَقَالُوا : آللهِ لَعُمَرُ كَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : آللهِ وَمَا يَحِلُّ لِي أَنْ أَكْذِبَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Azhar bin Yazid al-Rahawi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a slave woman ran away and joined the enemy. Then, when the Muslims took her as spoils, the people of the tribe of Murad recognised her, came to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Our slave woman ran away from us." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have no knowledge about this at present, but I am writing to the Commander of the Believers, so wait for his letter." Some time later Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) told them: "The letter of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning your slave woman has come, in which he has given this ruling: 'If the fifth (khums) has been taken out of her and she has been distributed, then the matter will remain so; otherwise return her to her owners.'" They asked: "By Allah! Did Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) really write this?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! It is certainly so, and it is in no way lawful for me to lie."
