. (Second chain) Sayyiduna Jubair and Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them both, came to speak to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, because he, peace and blessings be upon him, had distributed the spoils of Hunayn among Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib. So they said: O Messenger of Allah! You have distributed wealth among our brothers, Banu Muttalib and Banu Abd Manaf, but you have not given us anything, even though our relationship to you is the same as theirs. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I consider Hashim and Muttalib as one. Sayyiduna Jubair, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not give anything from this share to Banu Abd Shams and Banu Nawfal; he, peace and blessings be upon him, distributed this wealth among Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give anything from the khums to Banu Abd Shams and Banu Naufal, and this wealth was distributed among Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also used to distribute the khums in the same way as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did; however, he did not give to the relatives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the same manner as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give (i.e., the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to distribute equally, but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) would give less to some and more to others according to need). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give a part of this wealth to them.

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abu Laila, who says: I heard Amir al-Mu’minin Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I, Sayyida Fatima, Sayyiduna Abbas, and Sayyiduna Zaid bin Haritha gathered in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Abbas said: O Messenger of Allah! I have grown old, my bones have become weak, and my burdens and hardships have increased, so if you deem it appropriate, please order for me such and such amount of grain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We will do so. Then Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Just as you have ordered for your uncle, if you deem it appropriate, please order for me as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We will do so as well. Then Sayyiduna Zaid bin Haritha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! You had given me a piece of land, my livelihood depended on it, but then you took it back from me. If you deem it appropriate, please return that land to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, we will do so. Then I (Ali) said: O Messenger of Allah! If you deem it appropriate, appoint me as the guardian of that right which Allah Almighty has granted us in His Book in the form of khums, so that I may distribute it during your lifetime, and so that no one may snatch this right from us after you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We will do so. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made me responsible for it, and I continued to distribute it during his blessed life. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) kept that right entrusted to me, and I continued to distribute it during his caliphate. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also appointed me as its guardian, and I continued to distribute it during his caliphate, until the last year of his caliphate began, at which time a great amount of wealth came to him.

It is narrated from Yazid bin Hurmaz, he says: When Najdah Haruri rebelled against the leadership of Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), he sent a message to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked him about the share of close relatives—according to his knowledge, to whom should it be given? He replied: It is for us, those who are relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed this share among us. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave us a portion from this wealth and we considered it less than our right, we returned it to him and refused to accept it. The details of the portion that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) offered them were that he would assist those who wished to marry, pay the debts of their debtors, and give to their poor people. He refused to give more than this.

It is narrated from Yazid bin Abdullah, he says: We were in that enclosure in Basra, when a Bedouin came, he had a piece of leather or a waterskin with him, he said: This is a letter, this was written for me by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Abu Al-Ala says: I took that letter and read it out to the people, its wording was: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This letter is written from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to the Banu Zuhair bin Aqeesh. If you continue to perform prayer, give zakat, give the fifth of the spoils, the share of your Prophet, and the chosen portion, then you will remain in the protection of Allah and the protection of His Messenger, in safety. Then we asked him: What did you hear from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? He said: I heard him say: The fasts of the month of patience and three fasts from every month remove malice from the chest.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umarah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Four of us came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we had a horse with us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave each of us one share and gave the horse two shares.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave Zubair one share, his mother one share, and his horse two shares.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted two shares for a horse and one share for a foot soldier. The words of the narrator Abu Muawiyah are: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted a total of three shares for a man and his horse—one for the man and two for his horse.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Majma’ bin Jariyah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that Khaybar was distributed among the people of Hudaybiyyah; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not include anyone else with them, only those who had participated at Hudaybiyyah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made eighteen shares of it. The army numbered fifteen hundred (1500), among whom there were three hundred horsemen. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave two shares to each horseman and one share to each foot soldier.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to give women and slaves a share from the spoils of war equal to that of the army members, but in one narration it is stated: women and slaves were given a share less than that of the army members.
