Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35299 — Those who gave the belongings

Isa bin Yunus (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from Ibn Awn and Hisham, both of them from Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him), from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). Ibn Awn put it this way: Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) fought a duel. And Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) charged at the Marzuban of al-Zarah on the day of the Battle of al-Zarah. He struck him with a spear thrust that went into the raised edge of his saddle, and he died, and he took his bracelets and his belt. He said: When we returned, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) led the morning prayer, then he came to us and asked: "Is Abu Talhah here?" Sayyiduna Abu Talhah came out to him, and he said: "We do not take a fifth from the belongings of a slain man, but the belongings of al-Bara's slain man are a great deal of wealth." So he collected a fifth of it, which came to six thousand, since its total value was thirty thousand. Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that this was the first property stripped from a slain man from which a fifth was collected in Islam.
