It is narrated from Asim bin Kulayb that an elder from Banu Tamim of the Quraysh related to him, mentioning the names of six or seven elders of the Quraysh, and said that these gentlemen narrated it, among whom was also the name of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Because of their dispute, their voices were raised very high. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abbas! Wait a moment, I know what you want to say. You want to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was your nephew, so you should get half of the wealth. And Ali! I also know what you want to say. You want to say that his daughter is in your marriage and she is entitled to half of the wealth. Listen! Whatever was in the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that is what we all have seen, we know how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to dispose of it. After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he also disposed of it in the same way as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). After Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I was appointed as the guardian. I swear by Allah that as far as possible, I will act in the same way. After this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) swore an oath and said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was truthful. It is narrated from him that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No man inherits from a Prophet; their inheritance is distributed among the poor and needy Muslims. And Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated to me, and by Allah, he was truthful, he narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A Prophet does not pass away until he has led the prayer behind someone from his Ummah. Whatever was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we all have seen how he used to dispose of it. Now, if both of you wish, I will give this wealth to you so that you may also dispose of it as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did. So, both of them separated and then came back, and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, you may hand over this wealth to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); I am wholeheartedly pleased in favor of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter.
