Bayhaqi 12746 — How the fifth of the fifth is spent

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الْعُطَارِدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ: جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَتْ: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنْتَ وَرِثْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْ أَهْلُهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا بَلْ أَهْلُهُ، قَالَتْ: فَمَا بَالُ الْخُمُسِ؟ فقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا أَطْعَمَ اللهُ نَبِيًّا طُعْمَةً ثُمَّ قَبَضَهُ، كَانَتْ لِلَّذِي يَلِي بَعْدَهُ " فَلَمَّا وَلِيتُ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْلَمُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ.
Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Are you the heir of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or his family?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Rather, his family are his heirs." Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Then what about the khumus (one-fifth)?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When Allah gives His Prophet a provision and then takes him, that provision belongs to the one who is in charge after him." So when I took charge, I decided to return it to the Muslims. Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "You and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) know best," and then she went back.
