أخبرنا عمرو بن يحيى بن الحارث قال حدثنا محبوب قال أنبأنا أبو إسحاق عن موسى بن أبي عائشة قال سألت يحيى بن الجزار عن هذه الآية { واعلموا أنما غنمتم من شىء فأن لله خمسه وللرسول } قال قلت كم كان للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من الخمس قال خمس الخمس .
´It was narrated that Musa bin Abi 'Aishah said:` "I asked Yahya bin Al-Jazzar about this Verse: and know that whatever of spoils of war that you may gain, verily, one-fifth of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger". He said: "I said: 'How much of the Khumus did he Prophet take?' He said: 'One-fifth of the Khumus."'
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Benefit: The apparent wording of the verse has been used as evidence, because in it, five recipients besides Allah Almighty are mentioned; therefore, it is argued that one-fifth of the khums should be spent on each recipient. However, this reasoning is not correct, because nowhere in the verse is it mentioned that each should be given an equal share. Rather, it depends on circumstances and needs: where there is greater need, more should be spent, and where there is less need, less should be spent. No fixed share is assigned to any one recipient. Yahya ibn Jazar, mentioned in the narration, has been described as an extremist Shi'a. And Allah knows best. Nevertheless, he was truthful.
