حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي حُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَصْفَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ هَذَا السَّوَادِ عَشَرَةَ أَصْنَافٍ، أَصْفَى أَرْضَ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي الْحَرْبِ، وَمَنْ هَرَبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، ⦗٢٢٧⦘ يَعْنِي إِلَيْهِمْ، وَكُلَّ أَرْضٍ لِكِسْرَى، وَكُلَّ أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَكُلَّ مَغِيضِ مَاءٍ، وَكُلَّ دَيْرِ بَرِيدٍ. قَالَ: وَنَسِيتُ أَرْبَعًا. قَالَ: وَكَانَ خَرَاجُ مَنْ أَصْفَى سَبْعَةَ آلَافِ أَلْفٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجَمَاجِمُ أَحْرَقَ النَّاسُ الدِّيوَانَ وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ مَا يَلِيهِمْ.
Abd al-Malik bin Abi Hurrah narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reserved for himself ten categories of al-Sawad: (1) the land of those killed in the fighting, (2) of those who fled to the disbelievers, (3) all the land of Kisra, (4) all the land that belonged to anyone of his (Kisra's) family, (5) every marshland where water collects, (6) every post-house. He said: I have forgotten four. Their total kharaj amounted to seven million. When the (battle of Dayr al-)Jamajim took place, the people burned the registers, and everyone took possession of whatever came into his hands.
