أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ يَعْنِي الْحَافِظَ النَّيْسَابُورِيَّ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثنا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَرَضَ لِأَهْلِ بَدْرٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ وَقَالَ: " لَأُفَضِّلَنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ.
Qays said that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) allotted five thousand for the people of Badr and said: I will certainly give them preference over everyone else.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ شَاكِرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " كَانَ فَرَضَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسَمِائَةٍ "، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: هُوَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَبِمَ تُنْقِصُهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا هَاجَرَ بِهِ أَبَوَاهُ " يَقُولُ: لَيْسَ كَمَنْ هَاجَرَ بِنَفْسِهِ. أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ هَكَذَا.
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He allotted four thousand each for the first Muhajirun, and three thousand five hundred for Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). It was said: He too is one of the Muhajirun, so why less than four thousand for him? He said: His parents migrated with him; he is not like one who migrated by himself.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَرَضَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِأُسَامَةَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسِمِائَةٍ، قِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " أَجْعَلُ حِبَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَحِبِّ نَفْسِي؟ ".
Zayd bin Aslam narrated from his father that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) allotted three thousand for Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and three thousand five hundred for Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him). He was spoken to about that, and he said: Should I treat the beloved of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like my own beloved?
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ، أنبأ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ نَاشِرَةَ بْنِ سُمَيٍّ الْيَزَنِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْجَابِيَةِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَنِي خَازِنًا لِهَذَا الْمَالِ وَقَاسِمًا لَهُ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " بَلِ اللهُ يَقْسِمُهُ، وَأَنَا بَادِئٌ ⦗٥٦٩⦘ بِأَهْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَشْرَفِهِمْ ". فَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا جُوَيْرِيَةَ وَصَفِيَّةَ وَمَيْمُونَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُنَّ، وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَعْدِلُ بَيْنَنَا، فَعَدَلَ بَيْنَهُنَّ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنِّي بَادِئٌ بِي وَبِأَصْحَابِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ، فَإِنَّا أُخْرِجْنَا مِنْ دِيَارِنَا ظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا، ثُمَّ أَشْرَفِهِمْ ". فَفَرَضَ لِأَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ، وَلِمَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ، وَقَالَ: " مَنْ أَسْرَعَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ أَسْرَعَ بِهِ الْعَطَاءُ، وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ الْعَطَاءُ، فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا مَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتِهِ ".
Nashirah bin Sumayy said: I heard Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of al-Jabiyah while he was addressing the people: Allah has made me the keeper of this wealth and its distributor. Then he said: Rather, Allah is its distributor, and I begin with the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then those of them most honourable. So he allotted shares for the pure wives (may Allah be pleased with them), except Juwayriyah, Safiyyah and Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with them). Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to treat us equally. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) treated them equally. Then he said: I begin with myself and my companions, the first Muhajirun, for we were driven out of our homes unjustly and with aggression; then those of them most honourable. So he allotted five thousand for the people of Badr among them, four thousand for those of the Ansar who were present at Badr, and three thousand for those who were present at al-Hudaybiyah. And he said: Whoever hastened in the hijrah, the stipend will hasten to him; and whoever lagged behind in the hijrah will be held back in the stipend. So let a man blame no one but the place where his mount knelt.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَمْدَانَ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، قَالَ: وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْعِشَاءَ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا قَدِمْتَ بِهِ؟ "، فَقُلْتُ: قَدِمْتُ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ، قَالَ: " أَتَدْرِي مَا تَقُولُ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَدِمْتُ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ، قَالَ: " إِنَّكَ نَاعِسٌ، ارْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ فَنَمْ ثُمَّ اغْدُ عَلَيَّ "، قَالَ: فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: " مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ؟ " قُلْتُ: خَمْسُمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ، قَالَ: " طَيِّبٌ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا ذَاكَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ: " إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ، فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ نَعُدَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدًّا، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ نَكِيلَهُ لَكُمْ كَيْلًا "، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمَ يُدَوِّنُونَ دِيوَانًا يُعْطُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَدَوَّنَ الدَّوَاوِينَ، وَفَرَضَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَلْفٍ خَمْسَةَ أَلْفٍ، وَلِلْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَلْفٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَلْفٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from Bahrain. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I prayed the Isha prayer with him, and when he saw me, I greeted him with salam. He said: What have you brought? I said: I have brought five hundred thousand. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What are you saying? I said: I have brought five hundred thousand. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are drowsy; go home and sleep, and come in the morning. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came in the morning. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What have you brought? I said: Five hundred thousand. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Really? I said: Yes, that is all I know. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the people: Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) has brought me wealth; if you wish, we will count it out to you, and if you wish, we will measure it out to you. A man said: O Commander of the Believers, I have seen these non-Arabs keep a register (diwan), on the basis of which they give to people. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set up the register, and allotted five thousand for the Muhajirun, four thousand for the Ansar, and twelve thousand for the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them).
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أنا أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَمْدَانَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ، وَغَيْرُهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ مَالٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ أَوْ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيَأْخُذْ، فَقَامَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنْ جَاءَنِي مَالٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ لَأُعْطِيَنَّكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا " ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَحَثَى بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: قُمْ فَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ، فَأَخَذَ فَإِذَا هُنَّ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ، فَقَالَ: عُدُّوا لَهُ أَلْفًا، وَقَسَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ مَوَاعِيدُ وَعَدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ. حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عَامُ مُقْبِلٍ جَاءَ مَالٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَالِ، فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَمًا عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَمًا، وَفَضَلَتْ مِنْهُ فَضْلَةٌ، فَقَسَمَ لِلْخَدَمِ خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ وَقَالَ: إِنَّ لَكُمْ خَدَمًا يَخْدُمُونَكُمْ، وَيُعَالِجُونَ لَكُمْ، فَرَضَخْنَا لَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: لَوْ فَضَّلْتَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ لِسَابِقَتِهِمْ وَلِمَكَانِهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَجْرُ أُولَئِكَ عَلَى اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَعَاشَ الْأُسْوَةُ فِيهِ ⦗٥٧٠⦘ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَثَرَةِ، فَعَمِلَ بِهَذَا وِلَايَتَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ سَنَةَ، أُرَاهُ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ لَيَالٍ بَقِينَ مِنْهُ مَاتَ، فَوَلِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَفَتَحَ الْفُتُوحَ وَجَاءَتْهُ الْأَمْوَالُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ رَأَى فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ رَأْيًا، وَلِي فِيهِ رَأْيٌ آخَرُ، لَا أَجْعَلُ مَنْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَنْ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ، فَفَرَضَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِسْلَامٌ كَإِسْلَامِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يَشْهَدْ بَدْرًا أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، إِلَّا صَفِيَّةَ وَجُوَيْرِيَةَ فَرَضَ لَهُمَا سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ، فَأَبَتَا أَنْ تَقْبَلَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: إِنَّمَا فَرَضْتُ لَهُنَّ لِلْهِجْرَةِ، فَقَالَتَا: إِنَّمَا فَرَضْتَ لَهُنَّ لِمَكَانِهِنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ لَنَا مِثْلُهُ، فَعَرَفَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَفَرَضَ لَهُمَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَفَرَضَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَفَرَضَ لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَفَرَضَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ، فَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ: لِمَ زِدْتَهُ عَلَيَّ أَلْفًا؟ مَا كَانَ لِأَبِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِي، وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَبِيكَ، وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْكَ. وَفَرَضَ لِلْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ خَمْسَةَ آلَافٍ، أَلْحَقَهُمَا بِأَبِيهِمَا؛ لِمَكَانِهِمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَفَرَضَ لِأَبْنَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ أَلْفَيْنِ أَلْفَيْنِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ: زِيدُوهُ أَلْفًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ: مَا كَانَ لِأَبِيهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِآبَائِنَا، وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَنَا، قَالَ: إِنِّي فَرَضْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِيهِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَلْفَيْنِ، وَزِدْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَلْفًا، فَإِنْ كَانَت لَكَ أُمٌّ مِثْلُ أُمِّهِ زِدْتُكَ أَلْفًا. وَفَرَضَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَالنَّاسُ ثَمَانِمِائَةٍ، فَجَاءَهُ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بِأَخِيهِ عُثْمَانَ، فَفَرَضَ لَهُ ثَمَانِمِائَةٍ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: افْرِضُوا لَهُ فِي أَلْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ طَلْحَةُ: جِئْتُكَ بِمِثْلِهِ فَفَرَضْتَ لَهُ ثَمَانِمِائَةٍ، وَفَرَضْتَ لِهَذَا أَلْفَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا هَذَا لَقِيَنِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ لِي: مَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا قَدْ قُتِلَ، فَسَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَكَسَرَ غِمْدَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ قُتِلَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ، فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، وَهَذَا يَرْعَى الشَّاءَ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا.
Umar, the freedman of Ghufrah, said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, wealth came from Bahrain. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever was owed something (a promise or a debt) by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), let him come and take it." Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If wealth comes from Bahrain, I will give you this much and this much." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said it three times and scooped with his hand. So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Stand up and fill your hand (with the wealth)." So he filled it, and it was five hundred dirhams. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Count out a thousand (more) for him." And he distributed ten dirhams each among the people and said: "These are only promises that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made to the people." Then when the following year came, much more wealth came, and he distributed twenty dirhams each, and still some dirhams were left over from it. He gave the servants five dirhams each and said: "They are your servants who serve you and toil for you, so we have given them a small gift." The people said: "If only you would give preference to the Muhajirun and the Ansar because of their precedence and their standing." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Their reward is with Allah; indeed, in this livelihood (the distribution of wealth), equality is better than preference." He acted upon this throughout his caliphate, until, in the year thirteen I think, with some nights of Jumada al-Akhirah remaining, he passed away. Then Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph. He achieved conquests and wealth came to him. (Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) "Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) held his own view regarding this wealth, and I (now) hold a view of my own: I will not make one who fought against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like one who fought alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) allotted five thousand each for those of the Muhajirun and the Ansar who were present at Badr, and four thousand each for those whose Islam was like the Islam of the people of Badr but who were not present at Badr. He allotted twelve thousand each for the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them), except Sayyidah Safiyyah and Sayyidah Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with them both), for whom he allotted six thousand each. Both of them refused to accept it. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: "I allotted for them only because of the hijrah." They both said: "You allotted for them only because of their position with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we have the same position." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recognised that, and allotted twelve thousand each for them too. He allotted twelve thousand for Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), four thousand for Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), and three thousand for Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). He said: "O my father, why did you give Usamah a thousand more? Did his father have any virtue that my father did not have? And does he have any standing that I do not have?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Usamah's father was dearer to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than your father, and Usamah was dearer to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than you." He allotted five thousand each for al-Hasan and al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), and joined them with the rank of their father because of their (kinship) position with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He allotted two thousand each for the children of the Ansar and the Muhajirun. Then Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by, and he said: "Give him a thousand more." Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Did his father have a standing that our fathers did not have? And does he have a standing that we do not have?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I allotted him two thousand because of his father Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), and a thousand more because of his mother Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). If you had a mother like his mother, I would give you a thousand more too." He allotted eight hundred each for the people of Makkah. Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his brother Uthman to him, and he gave him eight hundred. Then al-Nadr bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Allot two thousand for him." Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I brought you (my brother), one like him, and you allotted eight hundred for him and two thousand for this one?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "His father (Anas bin al-Nadr (may Allah be pleased with him)) met me on the day of Uhud and asked me: What has become of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: I can only think that he (peace and blessings be upon him) has been martyred. He drew his sword, broke its scabbard and said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has been martyred, then Allah is Ever-Living and will never die. Then he fought until he was martyred, while this one (your brother) was grazing sheep in such-and-such a place."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) registered (in the diwan) five thousand for the Muhajirun, four thousand for the Ansar, and four thousand for those of the sons of the Muhajirun who were not present at Badr. Among them were Umar bin Abi Salamah, Usamah bin Zayd, Muhammad bin Abdullah and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is not one of these; he is such and such. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If I have a right, give it to me; otherwise do not give me. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ibn Awf: Register five thousand for him and register four thousand for me. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not want this. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, you and I will not both be at five thousand.
