Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35107 — What they said on who is given first

Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that six million were brought to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from Jalula, so he wished to fix stipends and sought counsel about it. Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Begin with yourself, for you are the most entitled to that." He said: "No! Rather, I will begin with those close relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who took part in the Battle of Badr, until this sequence reaches me." The narrator says: He began with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and fixed five thousand for him. Then he fixed a share for those of Banu Hashim who were present at the Battle of Badr, then for their freed slaves, then for their allies, then according to nearness of kinship, until the matter reached him (may Allah be pleased with him).
