Hadith 5:85
Muhammad ibn Ubayd narrated to us, Hashim ibn al-Barid narrated to us, from Husayn ibn Maymun, from Abdullah ibn Abdullah, the judge of Rayy, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, who said: I heard the Commander of the Faithful, Ali, say: I, Fatimah, al-Abbas, and Zayd ibn Harithah gathered before the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Al-Abbas said: "O Messenger of Allah, my age has advanced, my bones have become brittle, and my expenses have increased. If you see fit, O Messenger of Allah, to order for me such and such amount of food, then do so." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "We shall do so." Fatimah said: "O Messenger of Allah, if you see fit to order for me as you ordered for your uncle, then do so." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "We shall do that." Then Zayd ibn Harithah said: "O Messenger of Allah, you had given me land from which I made my living, then you took it back. If you see fit to return it to me, then do so." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "We shall do that." He said: Then I said: "O Messenger of Allah, if you see fit to put me in charge of this right which Allah has placed for us in His Book from this *khums* (one-fifth), so that I may distribute it during your lifetime, lest anyone dispute it with me after you." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "We shall do that." So the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, put me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his lifetime. Then Abu Bakr put me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his lifetime. Then Umar put me in charge of it, and I distributed it during his lifetime, until it was the last year of Umar’s years, when a great deal of wealth came to him.
حدثنا محمد بن عبيد، حدثنا هاشم بن البريد، عن حسين بن ميمون، عن عبد الله بن عبد الله، قاضي الري، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى، قال: سمعت أمير المؤمنين عليا يقول: اجتمعت أنا وفاطمة، والعباس، وزيد بن حارثة، عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال العباس: يا رسول الله، كبر سني، ورق عظمي، وكثرت مؤنتي، فإن رأيت يا رسول الله أن تأمر لي بكذا وكذا وسقا من طعام فافعل. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "نفعل" فقالت فاطمة: يا رسول الله، إن رأيت أن تأمر لي كما أمرت لعمك فافعل. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " نفعل ذلك " ، ثم قال زيد بن حارثة: يا رسول الله، كنت أعطيتني أرضا كانت معيشتي منها، ثم قبضتها، فإن رأيت أن تردها علي فافعل، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " نفعل ذاك " قال: فقلت: أنا: يا رسول الله، إن رأيت أن توليني هذا الحق الذي جعله الله لنا في كتابه من هذا الخمس، فأقسمه في حياتك كي لا ينازعنيه أحد بعدك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " نفعل ذاك " فولانيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقسمته في حياته، ثم ولانيه أبو بكر فقسمته في حياته، ثم ولانيه عمر فقسمت في حياته، حتى كانت آخر سنة من سني عمر، فإنه أتاه مال كثير
