Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35301 — Those who gave the belongings
٣٥٣٠١ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن محمد بن إسحاق عن عبد اللَّه بن أبي بكر قال: حدثت عن أبي قتادة الأنصاري أنه قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "من قتل قتيلًا فله سلبه"، قال: فقلت: يا رسول اللَّه، قد قتلت قتيلًا (ذا سلب) (١) ثم (أجهضني) (٢) عنه القتال فما أدري من سلبه، قال رجل من أهل مكة: صدق يا رسول اللَّه، قد قتل قتيلًا فسلبته فأرضه عني، قال أبو بكر: لا واللَّه لا تفعل، تنطلق إلى (أسد) (٣) ⦗٣٦٥⦘ (من) (٤) أسد اللَّه (٥) يقاتل عنه تقاسمه؟ فقال رسول اللَّه قول: "صدق، ادفع إليه سلبه" (٦).
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared: "Whoever kills someone, the belongings of that slain man shall belong to the killer." He said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I killed a man with many belongings, then the fighting kept me occupied away from him, and I do not know who stripped his belongings." A man from the people of Makkah said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! He has spoken the truth. He did indeed kill a man, and I stripped his belongings, so now satisfy him on my behalf." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, by Allah! You shall not do this! Would you go to one of the lions of Allah, who fights for Him, and share with him?" At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared: "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth. Give him his belongings."
