Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4578 — when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr became caliph
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ : نَا تَلِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ قَالَ : أَتَى الْعَبَّاسُ وَعَلِيٌّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ ، يَطْلُبَانِ مِيرَاثَهُمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ يَطْلُبُ نَصِيبَ فَاطِمَةَ ، وَجَاءَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَطْلُبُ نَصِيبَهُ مِمَّا كَانَ فِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : لَا أَرَى ذَلِكَ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا نُورَثُ ، مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ I " ، فَقَامَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَشَهِدُوا بِذَلِكَ قَالُوا : فَدَعْنَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي أَيْدِينَا عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ فِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا أَرَى ذَلِكَ ، أَنَا الْوَالِي مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، وَأَنَا أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمَا ، أَضَعُهَا فِي مَوَاضِعِهَا الَّتِي كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُهَا فِيهِ ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِمَا شَيْئًا ، فَلَمَّا وَلِيَ عُمَرُ أَتَيَاهُ قَالَ : كَأَنِّي لَعِنْدَ عُمَرَ وَقَدْ أَتَاهُ مَالٌ ، فَقَالَ : خُذْ هَذَا الْمَالَ ، فَاقْسِمْهُ فِي قَوْمِكَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْإِذْنُ ، فَقَالَ : بِالْبَابِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُمْ ، فَدَخَلُوا فَجَلَسُوا قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : عَلِيٌّ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بِالْبَابِ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُمْ فَدَخَلَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : مَا جَاءَ بِكُمَا ؟ مَا قَدْ طَلَبْتُمَاهُ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَدْفَعْهُ إِلَيْكُمَا ؟ قَالَ : فَتَرَدَّدَا عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا ، فَقَالَ : أَدْفَعُهَا إِلَيْكُمَا عَلَى أَنِّي آخُذُ عَلَيْكُمَا عَهْدًا وَمِيثَاقًا ، أَنْ تَعْمَلَا فِيهِ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخُذَاهَا ، فَأَعْطَاهُمَا فَقَبَضَاهَا ، ثُمَّ مَكَثَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا اخْتَصَمَا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَى عُمَرَ ، وَعِنْدَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاخْتَصَمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَا ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ : اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَرِحْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : وَاللهِ لَا أَقْضِي فِيهَا أَبَدًا إِلَّا قَضَاءً قَضَيْتُهُ ، فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمَا عَنْهَا ، فَرُدَّاهَا إِلَيَّ ، كَمَا دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمَا ، فَقَامَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ .

It is narrated from Malik bin Aws bin al-Hadathan (may Allah have mercy on him) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, Sayyiduna al-Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to him, both seeking their inheritance from the estate of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was seeking the share of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asking for his share of what had been under the control of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I do not see room for that, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'We, the community of Prophets, are not inherited from; whatever we leave behind is charity.'" Then a group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and testified to that. The two of them said: "Then hand it (the management) over to us, so that it remains with us just as it was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "I do not see room for that either. I am the ruler (of the Muslims) after him, and I have more right to it than the two of you; I will spend it where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to spend it." So he refused to give them anything.
Then, when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, the two of them came to him. (Malik bin Aws said:) It is as if I were with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when some wealth was brought to him, and he said (to me): "Take this wealth and distribute it among your people." Meanwhile his doorkeeper came and said: "Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) are at the door." He said: "Let them in." So they came in and sat down. Then he (the doorkeeper) came again and said: "Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) are at the door." He said: "Let them in too." So the two of them entered. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What has brought you two? Is it to seek the same thing you asked of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), which he did not give you?" The narrator said: The two of them kept pressing him on this matter. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will hand it (the wealth) over to you two on the condition that I take from you a pledge and covenant of Allah that you will do with it what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do; so take it." So he gave it to the two of them and they took possession of it.
Then they remained (in that state) for some time, then the two of them fell into a dispute between themselves and brought their case to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), while some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were with him. They presented their case before him and said what Allah willed they should say. Some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Commander of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve each of them of (the dispute with) the other." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! I will never give any judgement concerning it other than the judgement I have (already) given. If you two are unable to manage it, then return it to me, just as I handed it over to you." So the two of them got up and left him.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abd al-Malik bin Umayr except Talid bin Sulayman, and Abu Musa al-Ansari is alone in narrating it."
