Junadah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: We had halted at Dabiq, and Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was our commander. News reached Sayyiduna Habib bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the ruler of Cyprus intended to go to the patrician (regional chief) of Azerbaijan, and that he had with him emeralds, rubies, pearls, gold and brocade (silk garments). So he (Sayyiduna Habib (may Allah be pleased with him)) set out with a cavalry detachment, killed him, and brought all the goods that he had with him. Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to take out the khumus (one-fifth) from it, but Sayyiduna Habib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do not deprive me of this wealth; it is provision that Allah has granted me, for I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) assigned the belongings of the slain to the one who killed him." At this Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Wait a moment, O Habib, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'A man is entitled only to (the belongings of the slain) that his imam (ruler) is pleased to give.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) except Musa bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him), in which Amr bin Waqid (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone; and this report is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh and Sayyiduna Habib bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with them both) only with this chain."
