Hadith 22
22 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَمَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَمْوَالَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ كَانَتْ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَي رَسُولِهِ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ» فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِصَةً، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَي أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا بَقِي جَعَلَهُ فِي الْكُرَاعِ وَالسِّلَاحِ عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ إِنَّمَا قَالَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: يَحْبِسُ مِنْهُ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ
Malik bin Aws narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: The lands of Banu Nadir are those which Allah Almighty granted to His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as "fay’" (spoils without battle). The Muslims had not made their horses run for them, nor had they mounted rides for them; these were exclusively for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would take from their income the yearly expenses for his family, and whatever remained, he would use for horses and weapons, that is, for preparation in the way of Allah. Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sufyan has narrated these words in this narration: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would set aside the yearly expenses from it."
