Hazrat Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "By the One in Whose hand is Umar's soul! If it were not for the fear that those who come after would be left with nothing and would have no share, then I would have divided all the settlements of the disbelievers that the Muslims have conquered into portions just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided Khaybar into portions. But I have decided that a stipend should be established for them, because I dislike that those who come after should be left with nothing at all."
