حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ أَحَدَّثَكُمْ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا وَقَفَ الزُّبَيْرُ يوم الجمل دعاني فقمت إلى جنبه ، فقال : يا بني إنه لا يقتل اليوم إلا ظالم أو مظلوم ، وإني لا أراني إلا سأقتل اليوم مظلوما وإن من أكبر همي لديني أفترى يبقي ديننا من مالنا شيئا ، فقال : يا بني بع مالنا فاقض ديني وأوصى بالثلث وثلثه لبنيه يعني بني عبد الله بن الزبير ، يَقُولُ : ثُلُثُ الثُّلُثِ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ مِنْ مَالِنَا فَضْلٌ بَعْدَ قَضَاءِ الدَّيْنِ شَيْءٌ فَثُلُثُهُ لِوَلَدِكَ ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ : وَكَانَ بَعْضُ وَلَدِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَدْ وَازَى بَعْضَ بَنِي الزُّبَيْرِ خُبَيْبٌ وَعَبَّادٌ وَلَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَتِسْعُ بَنَاتٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : فَجَعَلَ يُوصِينِي بِدَيْنِهِ ، وَيَقُولُ : يَا بُنَيِّ إِنْ عَجَزْتَ عَنْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَاسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ مَوْلَايَ ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا دَرَيْتُ مَا أَرَادَ حَتَّى ، قُلْتُ : يَا أَبَتِ مَنْ مَوْلَاكَ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُ ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا وَقَعْتُ فِي كُرْبَةٍ مِنْ دَيْنِهِ إِلَّا ، قُلْتُ : يَا مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ اقْضِ عَنْهُ دَيْنَهُ فَيَقْضِيهِ فَقُتِلَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا إِلَّا أَرَضِينَ مِنْهَا الْغَابَةُ وَإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ دَارًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَدَارَيْنِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ وَدَارًا بِالْكُوفَةِ وَدَارًا بِمِصْرَ ، قَالَ : وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ دَيْنُهُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ بِالْمَالِ ، فَيَسْتَوْدِعُهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَيَقُولُ الزُّبَيْرُ : لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ سَلَفٌ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى عَلَيْهِ الضَّيْعَةَ وَمَا وَلِيَ إِمَارَةً قَطُّ ، وَلَا جِبَايَةَ خَرَاجٍ ، وَلَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : فَحَسَبْتُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفٍ وَمِائَتَيْ أَلْفٍ ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيَ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي كَمْ عَلَى أَخِي مِنَ الدَّيْنِ فَكَتَمَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ ، فَقَالَ : حَكِيمٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا أُرَى أَمْوَالَكُمْ تَسَعُ لِهَذِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَكَ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفٍ وَمِائَتَيْ أَلْفٍ ، قَالَ : مَا أُرَاكُمْ تُطِيقُونَ هَذَا فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَاسْتَعِينُوا بِي ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ الزُّبَيْرُ اشْتَرَى الْغَابَةَ بِسَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فَبَاعَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِأَلْفِ أَلْفٍ وَسِتِّ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ حَقٌّ فَلْيُوَافِنَا بِالْغَابَةِ ، فَأَتَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ أَرْبَعُ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ : إِنْ شِئْتُمْ تَرَكْتُهَا لَكُمْ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ جَعَلْتُمُوهَا فِيمَا تُؤَخِّرُونَ إِنْ أَخَّرْتُمْ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : لَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ : فَاقْطَعُوا لِي قِطْعَةً ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : لَكَ مِنْ هَاهُنَا إِلَى هَاهُنَا ، قَالَ : فَبَاعَ مِنْهَا فَقَضَى دَيْنَهُ فَأَوْفَاهُ وَبَقِيَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَسْهُمٍ وَنِصْفٌ ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَعِنْدَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ وَالْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَابْنُ زَمْعَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ : كَمْ قُوِّمَتْ الْغَابَةُ ، قَالَ : كُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ ، قَالَ : كَمْ بَقِيَ ، قَالَ : أَرْبَعَةُ أَسْهُمٍ وَنِصْفٌ ، قَالَ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : قَدْ أَخَذْتُ سَهْمًا بِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ : قَدْ أَخَذْتُ سَهْمًا بِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ زَمْعَةَ : قَدْ أَخَذْتُ سَهْمًا بِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : كَمْ بَقِيَ ، فَقَالَ : سَهْمٌ وَنِصْفٌ ، قَالَ : قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ بِخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، قَالَ : وَبَاعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِسِتِّ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ مِنْ قَضَاءِ دَيْنِهِ ، قَالَ : بَنُو الزُّبَيْرِ اقْسِمْ بَيْنَنَا مِيرَاثَنَا ، قَالَ : لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْسِمُ بَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى أُنَادِيَ بِالْمَوْسِمِ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ أَلَا مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا فَلْنَقْضِهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ يُنَادِي بِالْمَوْسِمِ فَلَمَّا مَضَى أَرْبَعُ سِنِينَ قَسَمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ وَرَفَعَ الثُّلُثَ ، فَأَصَابَ كُلَّ امْرَأَةٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفٍ وَمِائَتَا أَلْفٍ فَجَمِيعُ مَالِهِ خَمْسُونَ أَلْفَ أَلْفٍ وَمِائَتَا أَلْفٍ .

ہم سے اسحاق بن ابراہیم نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا کہ میں نے ابواسامہ سے پوچھا ‘ کیا آپ لوگوں سے ہشام بن عروہ نے یہ حدیث اپنے والد سے بیان کی ہے کہ   ان سے عبداللہ بن زبیر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہا کہ جمل کی جنگ کے موقع پر جب زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کھڑے ہوئے تو مجھے بلایا میں ان کے پہلو میں جا کر کھڑا ہو گیا ‘ انہوں نے کہا بیٹے! آج کی لڑائی میں ظالم مارا جائے گا یا مظلوم میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ آج میں مظلوم قتل کیا جاؤں گا اور مجھے سب سے زیادہ فکر اپنے قرضوں کی ہے۔ کیا تمہیں بھی کچھ اندازہ ہے کہ قرض ادا کرنے کے بعد ہمارا کچھ مال بچ سکے گا؟ پھر انہوں نے کہا بیٹے! ہمارا مال فروخت کر کے اس سے قرض ادا کر دینا۔ اس کے بعد انہوں نے ایک تہائی کی میرے لیے اور اس تہائی کے تیسرے حصہ کی وصیت میرے بچوں کے لیے کی ‘ یعنی عبداللہ بن زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کے بچوں کے لیے۔ انہوں نے فرمایا تھا کہ اس تہائی کے تین حصے کر لینا اور اگر قرض کی ادائیگی کے بعد ہمارے اموال میں سے کچھ بچ جائے تو اس کا ایک تہائی تمہارے بچوں کے لیے ہو گا۔ ہشام راوی نے بیان کیا کہ عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہ کے بعض لڑکے زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کے لڑکوں کے ہم عمر تھے۔ جیسے خبیب اور عباد۔ اور زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کے اس وقت نو لڑکے اور نو لڑکیاں تھیں۔ عبداللہ بن زبیر نے بیان کیا کہ پھر زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ مجھے اپنے قرض کے سلسلے میں وصیت کرنے لگے اور فرمانے لگے کہ بیٹا! اگر قرض ادا کرنے سے عاجز ہو جاؤ تو میرے مالک و مولا سے اس میں مدد چاہنا۔ عبداللہ نے بیان کیا کہ قسم اللہ کی! میں ان کی بات نہ سمجھ سکا ‘ میں نے پوچھا کہ بابا آپ کے مولا کون ہیں؟ انہوں نے فرمایا کہ اللہ پاک! عبداللہ نے بیان کیا ‘ قسم اللہ کی! قرض ادا کرنے میں جو بھی دشواری سامنے آئی تو میں نے اسی طرح دعا کی ‘ کہ اے زبیر کے مولا! ان کی طرف سے ان کا قرض ادا کرا دے اور ادائیگی کی صورت پیدا ہو جاتی تھی۔ چنانچہ جب زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ ( اسی موقع پر ) شہید ہو گئے تو انہوں نے ترکہ میں درہم و دینار نہیں چھوڑے بلکہ ان کا ترکہ کچھ تو اراضی کی صورت میں تھا اور اسی میں غابہ کی زمین بھی شامل تھی۔ گیارہ مکانات مدینہ میں تھے ‘ دو مکان بصرہ میں تھے ‘ ایک مکان کوفہ میں تھا اور ایک مصر میں تھا۔ عبداللہ نے بیان کیا کہ ان پر جو اتنا سارا قرض ہو گیا تھا اس کی صورت یہ ہوئی تھی کہ جب ان کے پاس کوئی شخص اپنا مال لے کر امانت رکھنے آتا تو آپ اسے کہتے کہ نہیں البتہ اس صورت میں رکھ سکتا ہوں کہ یہ میرے ذمے بطور قرض رہے۔ کیونکہ مجھے اس کے ضائع ہو جانے کا بھی خوف ہے۔ زبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کسی علاقے کے امیر کبھی نہیں بنے تھے۔ نہ وہ خراج وصول کرنے پر کبھی مقرر ہوئے اور نہ کوئی دوسرا عہدہ انہوں نے قبول کیا ‘ البتہ انہوں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سات

Narrated `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair: When Az-Zubair got up during the battle of Al-Jamal, he called me and I stood up beside him, and he said to me, O my son! Today one will be killed either as an oppressor or as an oppressed one. I see that I will be killed as an oppressed one. My biggest worry is my debts. Do you think, if we pay the debts, there will be something left for us from our money? Az-Zubair added, O my son! Sell our property and pay my debts. Az-Zubair then willed one-third of his property and willed one-third of that portion to his sons; namely, `Abdullah's sons. He said, One-third of the one third. If any property is left after the payment of the debts, one-third (of the one-third of what is left) is to be given to your sons. (Hisham, a sub-narrator added, Some of the sons of `Abdullah were equal in age to the sons of Az-Zubair e.g. Khubaib and `Abbas. `Abdullah had nine sons and nine daughters at that time. (The narrator `Abdullah added:) My father (Az-Zubair) went on drawing my attention to his debts saying, If you should fail to pay part of the debts, appeal to my Master to help you. By Allah! I could not understand what he meant till I asked, O father! Who is your Master? He replied, Allah (is my Master). By Allah, whenever I had any difficulty regarding his debts, I would say, Master of Az-Zubair! Pay his debts on his behalf . and Allah would (help me to) pay it. Az-Zubair was martyred leaving no Dinar or Dirham but two pieces of land, one of which was (called) Al-Ghaba, and eleven houses in Medina, two in Basra, one in Kufa and one in Egypt. In fact, the source of the debt which he owed was, that if somebody brought some money to deposit with him. Az-Zubair would say, No, (i won't keep it as a trust), but I take it as a debt, for I am afraid it might be lost. Az-Zubair was never appointed governor or collector of the tax of Kharaj or any other similar thing, but he collected his wealth (from the war booty he gained) during the holy battles he took part in, in the company of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, `Umar, and `Uthman. (`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair added:) When I counted his debt, it turned to be two million and two hundred thousand. (The sub-narrator added:) Hakim bin Hizam met `Abdullah bin Zubair and asked, O my nephew! How much is the debt of my brother? `Abdullah kept it as a secret and said, One hundred thousand, Hakim said, By Allah! I don't think your property will cover it. On that `Abdullah said to him, What if it is two million and two hundred thousand? Hakim said, I don't think you can pay it; so if you are unable to pay all of it, I will help you. Az- Zubair had already bought Al-Ghaba for one hundred and seventy thousand. `Abdullah sold it for one million and six hundred thousand. Then he called the people saying, Any person who has any money claim on Az-Zubair should come to us in Al-Ghaba. There came to him `Abdullah bin Ja`far whom Az-Zubair owed four hundred thousand. He said to `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, If you wish I will forgive you the debt. `Abdullah (bin Az-Zubair) said, No. Then Ibn Ja`far said, If you wish you can defer the payment if you should defer the payment of any debt. Ibn Az-Zubair said, No. `Abdullah bin Ja`far said, Give me a piece of the land. `Abdullah bin AzZubair said (to him), Yours is the land extending from this place to this place. So, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sold some of the property (including the houses) and paid his debt perfectly, retaining four and a half shares from the land (i.e. Al-Ghaba). He then went to Mu'awlya while `Amr bin `Uthman, Al-Mundhir bin Az- Zubair and Ibn Zam`a were sitting with him. Mu'awiya asked, At what price have you appraised Al- Ghaba? He said, One hundred thousand for each share, Muawiya asked, How many shares have been left? `Abdullah replied, Four and a half shares. Al-Mundhir bin Az-Zubair said, I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. `Amr bin `Uthman said, I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. Ibn Zam`a said, I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. Muawiya said, How much is left now? `Abdullah replied, One share and a half. Muawiya said, I would like to buy it for one hundred and fifty thousand. `Abdullah also sold his part to Muawiya six hundred thousand. When Ibn AzZubair had paid all the debts. Az-Zubair's sons said to him, Distribute our inheritance among us. He said, No, by Allah, I will not distribute it among you till I announce in four successive Hajj seasons, 'Would those who have money claims on Az-Zubair come so that we may pay them their debt. So, he started to announce that in public in every Hajj season, and when four years had elapsed, he distributed the inheritance among the inheritors. Az-Zubair had four wives, and after the one-third of his property was excluded (according to the will), each of his wives received one million and two hundred thousand. So the total amount of his property was fifty million and two hundred thousand.

Hadith 3091

Narrated `Ali: I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet had given me a she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa' to go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. grass of pleasant smell) and sell it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on my wedding party. I was collecting for my she-camels equipment of saddles, sacks and ropes while my two shecamels were kneeling down beside the room of an Ansari man. I returned after collecting whatever I collected, to see the humps of my two she-camels cut off and their flanks cut open and some portion of their livers was taken out. When I saw that state of my two she-camels, I could not help weeping. I asked, Who has done this? The people replied, Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib who is staying with some Ansari drunks in this house. I went away till I reached the Prophet and Zaid bin Haritha was with him. The Prophet noticed on my face the effect of what I had suffered, so the Prophet asked. What is wrong with you. I replied, O Allah's Apostle! I have never seen such a day as today. Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps, and ripped open their flanks, and he is sitting there in a house in the company of some drunks. The Prophet then asked for his covering sheet, put it on, and set out walking followed by me and Zaid bin Haritha till he came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and they allowed him, and they were drunk. Allah's Apostle started rebuking Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. Hamza looked at Allah's Apostle and then he raised his eyes, looking at his knees, then he raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised up his eyes look in at his face. Hamza then said, Aren't you but the slaves of my father? Allah's Apostle realized that he was drunk, so Allah's Apostle retreated, and we went out with him.

Narrated `Aisha: (mother of the believers) After the death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of Allah's Apostle asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah's Apostle had left of the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) which Allah had given him.

Hadith 3093

Abu Bakr said to her, Allah's Apostle said, 'Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity). Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died. Fatima remained alive for six months after the death of Allah's Apostle. She used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Allah's Apostle which he left at Khaibar, and Fadak, and his property at Medina (devoted for charity). Abu Bakr refused to give her that property and said, I will not leave anything Allah's Apostle used to do, because I am afraid that if I left something from the Prophet's tradition, then I would go astray. (Later on) `Umar gave the Prophet's property (of Sadaqa) at Medina to `Ali and `Abbas, but he withheld the properties of Khaibar and Fadak in his custody and said, These two properties are the Sadaqa which Allah's Apostle used to use for his expenditures and urgent needs. Now their management is to be entrusted to the ruler. (Az-Zuhrl said, They have been managed in this way till today. )

Hadith 3094

Narrated Malik bin Aus: While I was at home, the sun rose high and it got hot. Suddenly the messenger of `Umar bin Al- Khattab came to me and said, The chief of the believers has sent for you. So, I went along with him till I entered the place where `Umar was sitting on a bedstead made of date-palm leaves and covered with no mattress, and he was leaning over a leather pillow. I greeted him and sat down. He said, O Malik! Some persons of your people who have families came to me and I have ordered that a gift should be given to them, so take it and distribute it among them. I said, O chief of the believers! I wish that you order someone else to do it. He said, O man! Take it. While I was sitting there with him, his doorman Yarfa' came saying, `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, Az-Zubair and Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas are asking your permission (to see you); may I admit them? `Umar said, Yes , So they were admitted and they came in, greeted him, and sat down. After a while Yarfa' came again and said, May I admit `Ali and `Abbas? `Umar said, yes. So, they were admitted and they came in and greeted (him) and sat down. Then `Abbas said, O chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. `Ali). They had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai. The group (i.e. `Uthman and his companions) said, O chief of the believers! Judge between them and relieve both of them front each other. `Umar said, Be patient! I beseech you by Allah by Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth exist, do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our (i.e. prophets') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is Sadaqa (to be used for charity),' and Allah's Apostle meant himself (by saying we'')? The group said, He said so. `Umar then turned to `Ali and `Abbas and said, I beseech you by Allah, do you know that Allah's Apostle said so? They replied, He said so. `Umar then said, So, I will talk to you about this matter. Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a special favor of something of this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody else. `Umar then recited the Holy Verses: What Allah bestowed as (Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from them --- for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able to do all things. 9:6) `Umar added So this property was especially given to Allah's Apostle, but, by Allah, neither did he take possession of it and leave your, nor did he favor himself with it to your exclusion, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till this property remained out of it. Allah's Apostle used to spend the yearly expenses of his family out of this property and used to keep the rest of its revenue to be spent on Allah 's Cause. Allah 's Apostle kept on doing this during all his lifetime. I ask you by Allah do you know this? They replies in the affirmative. `Umar then said to `Ali and `Abbas. I ask you by Allah, do you know this? `Umar added, When Allah had taken His Prophet unto Him, 'Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle so, Abu Bakr took over that property and managed it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do, and Allah knows that he was true, pious and rightlyguided, and he was a follower of what was right. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him and I became Abu Bakr's successor, and I kept that property in my possession for the first two years of my Caliphate, managing it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do and as Abu Bakr used to do, and Allah knows that I have been true, pious, rightly guided, and a follower of what is right. Now you both (i.e. 'Ah and `Abbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case; you, `Abbas, came to me asking for your share from your nephew's property, and this man, i.e. `Ali, came to me asking for his wife's share from her father's property. I told you both that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our (prophets') properties are not to be inherited, but what we leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity).' When I thought it right that I should hand over this property to you, I said to you, 'I am ready to hand over this property to you if you wish, on the condition that you would take Allah's Pledge and Convention that you would manage it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to, and as Abu Bakr used to do, and as I have done since I was in charge of it.' So, both of you said (to me), 'Hand it over to us,' and on that condition I handed it over to you. So, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on this condition? The group aid, Yes. Then `Umar faced `Ali and `Abbas saying, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to you on this condition? They said, Yes. He said, Do you want now to give a different decision? By Allah, by Whose Leave both the Heaven and the Earth exist, I will never give any decision other than that (I have already given). And if you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will do the job on your behalf.

Hadith 3095

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The delegates of the tribe of `Abdul-Qais came and said, O Allah's Apostle! We are from the tribe of Rabi`a, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please order us some instructions that we may apply it to ourselves and also invite our people whom we left behind us to observe as well. The Prophet said, I order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: I order you to believe in Allah, that is, to testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah (the Prophet pointed with his hand); to offer prayers perfectly; to pay Zakat; to fast the month of Ramadan, and to pay the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth) of the war booty to Allah and I forbid you to use Ad-dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat (i.e. utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks). (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1).
