Hadith 693
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to take one twentieth of wheat and oil from the Nabatean disbelievers, so that its revenue would increase in Madinah, and he used to take one tenth from Qutniyyah.
Hadith 694
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ :
" كُنْتُ غُلَامًا عَامِلًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى سُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَكُنَّا نَأْخُذُ مِنَ النَّبَطِ الْعُشْرَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was an official along with Abdullah bin Utbah in the market of Madinah Munawwarah, so we used to take one-tenth from the disbelievers of Nabt.
Hadith 695
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ : عَلَى أَيِّ وَجْهٍ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ النَّبَطِ الْعُشْرَ ، فَقَالَ
ابْنُ شِهَابٍ :
" كَانَ ذَلِكَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَلْزَمَهُمْ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ "
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, asked Ibn Shihab how Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, used to take a tenth from the disbelieving Nabateans. Ibn Shihab replied that in the days of ignorance, a tenth used to be taken from those people, and Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, maintained that upon them.
