Bayhaqi 18379 — The Sawad of Iraq

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ، ثنا يَحْيَى، ثنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: أَعْطَى عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جَرِيرًا وَقَوْمَهُ رُبْعَ السَّوَادِ، فَأَخَذَهُ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ جَرِيرًا وَفَدَ إِلَى عُمَرَ مَعَ عَمَّارٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: يَا جَرِيرُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي قَاسِمٌ مَسْئُولٌ لَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَى أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْطَاهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا.
Qays bin Abi Hazim said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) and his people a quarter of the Sawad. They collected its kharaj for two or three years. Then Jarir and Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O Jarir! If I were not going to be questioned about the distribution, I would have kept you in that same state. But now return it to the Muslims." So Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) returned the quarter of the Sawad, and in exchange Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him eighty dinars.
