حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْبَرِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْعَبَّاسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفَاطِمَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ عند النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُوَلِّيَنِي حَقَّنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْخُمُسِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقْسِمْهُ حَيَاتَكَ كَيْ لَا يُنَازِعَنِي أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ فَافْعَلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَسَمْتُهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ آخِرُ سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَعَزَلَ حَقَّنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بِنَا عَنْهُ الْعَامَ غِنًى وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَارْدُدْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ لَمْ يَدْعُنِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقِيتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بَعْدَ مَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَلِيُّ حَرَمْتَنَا الْغَدَاةَ شَيْئًا لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا أَبَدًا وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَاهِيًا.

I, al-Abbas, Fatimah and Zayd bin Harithah رضی اللہ عنہم gathered with the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and I said: Messenger of Allah, if you think to assign us our right (portion) in this fifth ( of the booty) as mentioned in the Book of Allah, and this I may divide during your lifetime so that no one may dispute me after you, then do it. He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar رضی اللہ عنہ a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar رضی اللہ عنہ . I met al-Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ when I came out from Umar رضی اللہ عنہ . He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom.
