The spoils: how are they divided?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35535 — The spoils: how are they divided?
٣٥٥٣٥ - حدثنا حميد عن حسن بن صالح قال: سألت عطاء بن السائب عن قوله: ﴿وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُ﴾، وعن هذه الآية: ﴿وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ﴾ [الأنفال: ٤١، والحشر: ٦]، قال: قلت: ما الفيء وما الغنيمة؟ قال: إذا ظهر المسلمون على المشركين وعلى أرضهم فأخذوهم عنوة فما (أُخذ) (١) من مال (٢) ظهروا عليه فهو غنيمة وأما الأرض فهي فيء، وسوادنا هذا فيء.
Hasan bin Salih said: I asked Ata bin al-Sa'ib about the saying of Allah, 'And know that whatever you take as spoils of war, one fifth of it belongs to Allah' [Al-Anfal: 41], and the other verse, 'And what Allah has given as fay' to His Messenger' [Al-Hashr: 6], asking what is meant by fay' and booty. Ata said: When the Muslims overcome the polytheists and their lands by force of war, the wealth that comes to hand at that time is booty, and their land is fay', and this Sawad of ours (the cultivated land of Iraq) is fay'.
