Imam Shabi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that six hundred thousand came to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the place of Hulula. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to allocate stipends. He sought advice regarding this. Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You (may Allah be pleased with him) should begin with yourself. You are more deserving of it. He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: No! Rather, I will begin with those close relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who participated in the Battle of Badr, until this sequence reaches me. The narrator says: He (may Allah be pleased with him) began with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and fixed five thousand for him. Then he allocated shares for those from Banu Hashim who were present at the Battle of Badr. Then for their slaves, then for their allies. Then according to the closest and then the next closest, until this matter reached him (may Allah be pleased with him).
