Hadith 1782

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ النَّصْرِيُّ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ أَتَاهُ حَاجِبُهُ يَرْفَأُ ، فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : هَلْ لَكَ فِي عُثْمَانَ , وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , وَسَعْدٍ , وَالزُّبَيْرِ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، ائْذَنْ لَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلُوا فَسَلَّمُوا وَجَلَسُوا , قَالَ : ثُمَّ لَبِثَ يَرْفَأُ قَلِيلًا ، فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ هَلْ لَكَ فِي عَلِيٍّ , وَعَبَّاسٍ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ جَلَسَا ، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، اقْضِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّهْطُ عُثْمَانُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ : اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا , وَأَرِحْ أَحَدَهُمَا مِنَ الْآخَرِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : اتَّئِدُوا ، فَأَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَن َّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ " ، يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفْسَهُ ؟ قَالَ الرَّهْطُ : قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ , وَعَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : أَنْشُدُكُمَا بِاللَّهِ ، هَلْ تَعْلَمَانِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَا : قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَإِنِّي أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَانَ خَصَّ رَسُولَهُ فِي هَذَا الْفَيْءِ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُ ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ سورة الحشر آية 6 ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ خَاصَّةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ وَاللَّهِ مَا احْتَازَهَا ، وَلَا اسْتَأْثَرَ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ، لَقَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُوهَا وَبَثَّهَا فِيكُمْ ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ مِنْهَا هَذَا الْمَالُ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَتِهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ ، فَيَجْعَلُهُ مَجْعَلَ مَالِ اللَّهِ ، فَعَمِلَ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيَاتَهُ ، أَنْشُدُكُمْ اللَّهَ ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ , وَعَبَّاسٍ ، فَأَنْشُدُكُمَا بِاللَّهِ ، هَلْ تَعْلَمَانِ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَا : نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَبَضَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ ، فَعَمِلَ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنْتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ ، وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ , وَعَبَّاسٍ ، تَزْعُمَانِ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فِيهَا كَذَا ، وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ فِيهَا لَصَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ .
Malik bin Aws bin Hadthan says that once Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me by message. While we were sitting, the slave of Sayyiduna Umar (whose name was Yarfa) came in and said, "Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman, Sayyiduna Sa’d, and Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with them all) are seeking permission to enter." He said, "Let them in." After a short while, the slave came again and said, "Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) are seeking permission to enter." He said, "Let them in as well." As soon as Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) entered, he said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between me and him." At that time, their dispute was about the wealth of Fay’ obtained from Banu Nadir. The people also said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between them and grant each relief from the other, for now their dispute is only increasing." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is all charity'?" The people replied in the affirmative. Then he asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both), and they also affirmed it. After that, he said, "I will inform you of its reality. Allah gave this wealth of Fay’ exclusively to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); no one else was given anything from it, and He said: «﴿وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ﴾ [الحشر : 6]» 'And whatever (wealth) Allah has bestowed upon His Messenger from them (without battle), you did not spur for it any horses or camels.' Therefore, this wealth was specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but by Allah! He did not keep it for himself to the exclusion of you, nor did he prefer himself over you with this wealth. He distributed this wealth among you until only a little remained, from which he would provide for his family for a year, and if anything was left over from that, he would distribute it in the way of Allah. And he continued to act in this manner during his lifetime. I ask you by Allah, do you also know this?" The people said, "Yes!" Then he asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both), and they gave the same answer. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said that after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I am responsible and caretaker of his wealth. Thus, he followed the same method as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to follow. And now you (he turned towards Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with them both) think that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was like this, although Allah knows that he was truthful, righteous, on the right path, and obedient to the truth in this matter.
