It is narrated from Malik bin Aws bin Hadthan, he says: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) summoned me. While I was still there, his servant Yarfa came and informed that Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman, Sayyiduna Sa’d, and Sayyiduna Zubair bin Awwam had arrived. I do not remember whether he mentioned the name of Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) or not. These gentlemen were seeking permission to enter. He said: Yes, let them come in. After a while, the servant came and said: Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) have come; they are seeking permission to come to you. He said: Yes, let them come in as well. When Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, he said: O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between him and me. At that time, they were disputing about the property of Fay’ from the wealth of Banu Nadir, which belonged to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Upon hearing this, all the people said: O Commander of the Faithful! Decide between them and bring relief to both of them from each other. Their dispute has become quite prolonged. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established! Do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that we have no heirs; whatever we leave behind is charity? All said: Yes, indeed, you (peace and blessings be upon him) said this. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the same thing from both of them, they also replied in the affirmative. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will tell you about this property of Fay’. Allah Almighty has specified the property of Fay’ for His Prophet, and He did not give it to anyone other than you (peace and blessings be upon him). The command of Allah Almighty is: {وَمَا أَفَائَ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی رَسُولِہِ مِنْہُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَیْہِ مِنْ خَیْلٍ وَلَا رِکَابٍ} … And whatever Allah has bestowed upon His Messenger from them, you did not spur horses or camels for it. These properties were specific to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah! It did not happen that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept all the wealth for himself and did not give it to you, nor did he prefer others over you regarding this wealth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would distribute all these properties among you, then whatever remained, he would spend on his family throughout the year, and whatever was left after that, he would spend it as Allah’s property. When the Messenger of Allah passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I am his successor; I will dispose of this property in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do.
