حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَفَّافُ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ بَنِي شَبَابَةَ، بَطْنٌ مِنْ فَهْمٍ كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نَحْلٍ - كَانَ لَهُمُ - الْعُشْرَ، مِنْ كُلِّ عَشْرِ قِرَبٍ قِرْبَةٌ، وَكَانَ يَحْمِي وَادِيَيْنِ لَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ اسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَى مَا هُنَاكَ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيَّ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُؤَدُّوا إِلَيْهِ شَيْئًا، وَقَالُوا: إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نُؤَدِّيهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَتَبَ سُفْيَانُ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: «إِنَّمَا النَّحْلُ ذُبَابُ غَيْثٍ يَسُوقُهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رِزْقًا إِلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ، فَإِنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيْكَ مَا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاحْمِ لَهُمْ أَوْدِيَتَهُمْ، وَإِلَّا فَخَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَدَّوْا إِلَيْهِ مَا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَحَمَى لَهُمْ أَوْدِيَتَهُمْ»
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that Banu Shababah, a branch of the tribe of Fahm, used to pay the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a tithe on their bees, namely one waterskin out of every ten waterskins, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to protect two valleys of theirs (for them). Then, when it was the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he appointed Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abdullah al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor over that area, but they refused to pay him anything and said: "We used to pay it only to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Sayyiduna Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote about this to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to him: "The bee is but a fly of the rain which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, drives as provision to whomever He wills. So if they pay you what they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then protect their valleys for them; otherwise, leave it open to the people." So they paid what they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he protected their valleys for them.
