Musnad Abi Ya'la 364 — he said: I heard the Commander
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْبَرِيدِ ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَاضِي الرَّيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَفَاطِمَةُ ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كَبِرَ سِنِّي ، وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي ، وَكَثُرَتْ مُؤْنَتِي ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَنْ تَأْمُرَ لِي بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَافْعَلْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَعَلْتُ ، فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْمُرَ لِي بِمَا أَمَرْتَ فَافْعَلْ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كُنْتَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضًا كَانَتْ مَعِيشَتِي مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ قَبَضْتَهَا مِنِّي ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَرُدَّهَا عَلَيَّ فَافْعَلْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُوَلِّيَنِي هَذَا الْحَقَّ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللهُ لَنَا فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي هَذَا الْخُمُسِ فَأَقْسِمَهُ فِي حَيَاتِكَ فَلَا يُنَازِعُنِيهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ، فَوَلَّانِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ ، ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ ، ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ عُمَرُ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ ، حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ ، وَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَعَزَلَ خُمُسًا ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَلِيُّ ، هَذَا حَقُّكُمْ ، فَخُذْ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، بِنَا الْعَامَ عَنْهُ غِنًى ، وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَارْدُدْهُ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَرَدَّهُ عُمَرُ تِلْكَ السَّنَةَ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَدْعُنِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ ، حَتَّى قُمْتُ مَقَامِي هَذَا ، فَلَقِيَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ : يَا عَلِيُّ ، لَقَدْ نَزَعْتَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا أَبَدًا .
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I heard the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), say: "I, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered (in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)). Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have grown old, my bones have become weak and my expenses have increased; so, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if you see fit to order such and such a number of wasqs of grain for me, then please do so. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I have done so.' Then Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if you see fit to order for me too the same as you have ordered (for Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)), then please do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I have done so.' Then Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you had granted me a piece of land from which I made my living, then you took it back from me; if you see fit to return it to me, then please do so. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I have done so.' Then I (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if you see fit to put me in charge of this right which Allah Almighty has appointed for us in the Book of Allah in this khumus (the fifth of the spoils of war), so that I may distribute it during your lifetime and no one disputes with me over it after you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I have done so.' So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his blessed lifetime. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) kept me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his lifetime as well. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) put me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his lifetime as well, until the last year of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Abundant wealth came to him; he set aside a fifth (khumus) of it and sent word to me: O Ali, this is the right of you people, so take it. I said: O Commander of the Believers, this year we have no need of it, while the other Muslims need it more, so return it to them. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) returned that wealth to the Muslims that year. Then after Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) no one called me to (distribute) it, until I came to occupy this position (of the caliphate). Then Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) met me and said: O Ali, today you have taken from us something (that is, by giving up the right of distribution) that will never come back to us."
