وَكَذَلِكَ ذَلِكَ فِي قَوْلِ الْوَاقِدِيِّ

The report of al-Waqidi is the same

وَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَا الرِّوَايَةَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْهُ قَبْلُ

We have already mentioned the account of this on his authority

وَفِي قَوْلِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ" كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ

According to the report of Ibn Ishaq, this was in the year 16

قال الطبرى" وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ- أَعْنِي سَنَةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ- كَانَتْ وَقَعَاتٍ فِي قَوْلِ سَيْفِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

Al-Tabari has said" In this year, meaning the year 15/636 37, there were battles according to the report of Sayf b. ‘Umar

وَالْجَزَاءُ لِمَنْ مَنَعَ الذِّمَّةَ وَوَفِيَ لَهُمْ مِمَّنْ وَلِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ، وَلِمَنْ لَحِقَ بِهِمْ فَأَعَانَهُمْ، إِلا أَنْ يُؤَاسُوا بِفَضْلَةٍ مِنْ طِيبِ أَنْفُسٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَنَلْ مِثْلَ الذى نالوا

It belongs to those who protect the ahl al-dhimmah, fulfill the obligations toward them, and to those who join them and assist them, unless they willingly share the surplus "of the poll tax" with others who were not eligible to receive from it what they themselves had received

وَلَيْسَ فِي الْجَزَاءِ أَخْمَاسٌ

The poll tax is not to be divided into fifths

مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ

The poll tax was restored to the Muslims in moderate sums

ثُمَّ فَوَّضَ الأَعْطِيَةَ مِنَ الْجَزَاءِ عَلَى مَنْ صَالَحَ أَوْ دُعِيَ إِلَى الصُّلْحِ مِنْ جَزَائِهِ

‘Umar then allotted the stipends from the poll tax which was imposed on those who entered "willingly" into peace agreements or were called upon to do so

فَبَدَأَ بِالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، ثُمَّ بِالأَنْصَارِ، ثُمَّ التَّابِعِينَ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا مَعَهُمْ وَأَعَانُوهُمْ

‘Umar began with the Emigrants, then with the Helpers, then with those who followed them, and with those who participated with them in battles and helped them

فَقَسَّمَ الأَخْمَاسَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ وَعَلِيٌّ، وَعَمِلَ بِهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بَعْدَهُ

The "four" fifths were divided according to this. ‘Umar and ‘Ali agreed upon this and the Muslims after them implemented it "as well

ثُمَّ اسْتُشْهِدُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا" «وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّما غَنِمْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُ

They found proof of this in the verse "Know that, whatever booty you take, the fifth of it is God's and the messenger's

وَأَرْبَعَةَ أَخْمَاسٍ لِمَنْ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَغْنَمَ

The four-fifths belong to those to whom God gave the spoils

فَأَخَذُوا الأَرْبَعَةَ أَخْمَاسٍ عَلَى مَا قُسِّمَ عليه الخمس فيمن بدئ به وثنى وثلاث

They took the four-fifths "and divided them" inthe same way as the fifth had been divided among those who received it in the first three divisions

ثُمَّ فَسَّرُوا ذَلِكَ بِالآيَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا" «لِلْفُقَراءِ الْمُهاجِرِينَ» الآية

Then they interpreted this in the light of the verse that follows" "It is for the poor Emigrants "who were expelled from their habitations and their possessions, seeking bounty from God and good pleasure

فَاجْتَمَعَ رَأْيُ عُمَرَ وَعَلِيٌّ عَلَى أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَنْ قِبَلِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالُوا" «مَا أَفاءَ اللَّهُ عَلى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرى» - يعنى من الخمس- «فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ» ، إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ، مِنَ اللَّهِ الأَمْرُ وَعَلَى الرَّسُولِ الْقَسْمُ «وَلِذِي الْقُرْبى وَالْيَتامى وَالْمَساكِينِ» الآية

‘Umar and ‘Ali agreed to follow the Qur’an and said" " 'Whatever God has given to His Messenger from the people of the cities' (meaning the fifth) 'belongs to God and His Messenger'... li-Allahi wali-al-rasuli means ila Allahi wa-ila al-rasuli; this means that God commands and the messenger is obliged to divide "the spoils" '... and to the near kinsman, the orphans, the needy "and the traveler, so that it may not be a thing taken in turns among the rich of you

قَالَ" لَمَّا افْتُتِحَتِ الْقَادِسِيَّةُ وَصَالَحَ مَنْ صَالَحَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّوَادِ وَافْتُتِحَتْ دِمَشْقُ، وَصَالَحَ أَهْلُ دِمَشْقَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّاسِ" اجْتَمِعُوا فَأَحْضِرُونِي عِلْمَكُمْ فِيمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَأَهْلِ الشَّامِ

When al-Qadisiyyah was conquered and certain people of the sawdd entered into peace agreements, and when Damascus was conquered and the people of Damascus entered into peace agreements, ‘Umar said to the Muslims" "Assemble and let me know your views on the spoils which God has restored to those who fought in al-Qadisiyyah and in Syria

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ. وَالضَّحَّاكِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—‘Atiyyah—his companions and al-Pabhak — Ibn ‘Abbas

فَإِنْ لَزِمَ طَرِيقَهُمَا وَرَضِيَ بِزَادِهِمَا لَحِقَ بِهِمَا وَكَانَ مَعَهُمَا، وَإِنْ سَلَكَ غَيْرَ طَرِيقِهِمَا لَمْ يُجَامِعْهُمَا

If he sticks to their road and is content with their pro-visions, he will reach them and be in their company; but if he travels another road, he will not (be able to" join them

ثُمَّ اتَّبَعَهُ الثَّالِثُ

Then the third one went in his footsteps

ثُمَّ اتَّبَعَهُ الآخَرُ فَسَلَكَ طَرِيقَهُ، فَأَفْضَى إِلَيْهِ

The second one followed him, traveled the same road, and reached him

فَمَضَى الأَوَّلُ وَقَدْ تَزَوَّدَ زَادًا فَبَلَغَ

The first one set out, took his provisions, and reached his destination

وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ صَاحِبَيَّ كِثَلاثَةٍ سَلَكُوا طَرِيقًا

I and my two com-panions are like three men who traveled on a road

وانى قدرت فو الله لاضعن الفضول مواضعها، ولا تبلغن بالتزجيه

By God, I am (also) frugal; I shall put the surplus in its proper place and shall content myself with the bare necessities

قَالَ" يَا حَفْصَةُ، فَأَبْلِغِيهِمْ عَنِّي أَنَّ رسول الله ص قدر فوضع الفضول مواضعها، وتبلغ بالتزجيه

‘Umar said" O Hafsah, tell them on my behalf that the Messenger of God was frugal, put the surplus in its proper place, and contented himself with the bare necessities

فَإِذَا كَانَ الشِّتَاءُ بَسَطْنَا نِصْفَهُ وَتَدَثَّرْنَا بِنِصْفِهِ

When winter came, we spread half of it, and covered ourselves with the other half

قَالَتْ" كِسَاءٌ لَنَا ثَخِينٌ كُنَّا نُرْبِعُهُ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَنَجْعَلُهُ تَحْتَنَا

Hafsah said" "We had a coarse cover which we used to spread in the summer and put under us

قَالَ" فَأَيُّ مَبْسَطٍ كَانَ يَبْسُطُهُ عِنْدَكِ كَانَ أَوْطَأَ

‘Umar said" "And what blanket which he used to spread in your house was the softest

فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَتَطَعَّمَ مِنْهَا اسْتِطَابَةً لَهَا

He tasted it and found it good

فَصَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ حَارَّةٌ أَسْفَلَ عُكَّةٍ لَنَا، فَجَعَلْنَاهَا هَشَّةً دَسِمَةً

While it was hot, we poured over it "the contents of" the humblest skin, and we made it soft and fatty

قَالَتْ" خَبَزْنَا خُبْزَةَ شَعِيرٍ

She said" "We baked barley bread

قَالَ" فَأَيُّ الطَّعَامِ نَالَهُ عِنْدَكِ أَرْفَعُ

‘Umar said" "And what was the most sumptuous food which he received in your house

قَالَتْ" ثَوْبَيْنِ مُمَشَّقَيْنِ كَانَ يَلْبَسُهُمَا لِلْوَفْدِ، وَيَخْطُبُ فِيهِمَا لِلْجُمَعِ

Hafsah said" "TWo dyed garments in which he used to meet delegations and deliver sermons to the assembled people

أَنْشُدُكِ بِاللَّهِ، مَا افضل ما اقتنى رسول الله ص فِي بَيْتِكِ مِنَ الْمَلْبَسِ

I implore you by God, what was the best garment which the ' Messenger of God acquired for himself in your house

أَنْتِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ

You stand between me and them

فَقَالَ" لَوْ عَلِمْتُ مَنْ هُمْ لَسُؤْتُ وُجُوهَهُمْ

‘Umar said" "If I knew who they were, I would harm them

قَالَتْ" لا سَبِيلَ إِلَى عِلْمِهِمْ حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ رَأْيَكَ

She said" "You have no way to know it before I know what you think

وَقَالَ" مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ

He said" "Who are they

فَلَقِيَتْ عُمَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَعَرَفَتِ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ

Haf§ah met ‘Umar concerning this matter and discerned anger in his fine

وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهَا

Then they left the house

فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَأَمَرُوهَا أَنْ تُخْبِرَ بِالْخَبَرِ عَنْ نَفَرٍ، وَلا تُسَمِّي لَهُ أَحَدًا، إِلا أَنْ يَقْبَلَ

They entered into her presence and ordered her to inform ‘Umar "of the proposal" in the name of the group, but not to identify anyone of them to ‘Umar until he should agree

نَأْتِي حَفْصَةَ فَنَسْأَلُهَا وَنَسْتَكْتِمُهَا

Let us go to Hafsah and ask her in confidence

فَهَلُمُّوا فَلْنَسْتَبْرِئُ مَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ وَرَاء

Let us try hard to find out what he really thinks

فقال عُثْمَانُ" إِنَّهُ عُمَرُ

‘Uthman said" "This is ‘Umar

فَانْطَلِقُوا بِنَا

Let us gp

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ" وَدِدْنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ

‘Ali said" "We have wanted to do it before

فَاجْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِنْهُمْ عُثْمَانُ، وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ، فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ" لَوْ قُلْنَا لِعُمَرَ فِي زِيَادَةٍ نَزِيدُهَا إِيَّاهُ فِي رِزْقِهِ

A group of Emigrants, which included ‘Uthman, ‘Alli, Talhah, and al-Zubayr gpt together, and al-Zubayr said" "We should speak to ‘Umar about increasing his income

فَكَانَ بِذَلِكَ، فَاشْتَدَّتْ حَاجَتُهُ

He lived in this condition, but his needs kept increasing

لَمَّا وَلِيَ عُمَرُ قَعَدَ عَلَى رِزْقِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الَّذِي كَانُوا فَرَضُوا لَهُ

When ‘Umar assumed power, he was receiving the living allowance which had been allotted to Abu Bakr

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شعيب، عن سيف، عن مبشر بن الفضيل، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—Mubashshir b. al-Fudayl —Salim b. ‘Abdallah

فَقَالَ" مَا أَصْلَحَنِي وَأَصْلَحَ عِيَالِي بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَحُلَّةُ الشِّتَاءِ وَحُلَّةُ الصَّيْفِ، وَرَاحِلَةُ عُمَرَ لِلْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ، وَدَابَّةٌ فِي حَوَائِجِهِ وَجِهَادِهِ

‘Umar replied" "What will keep me in a moderately good condition" a garment for the summer and a garment for the winter, a riding beast to take ‘Umar for his pilgrimage and the cumrah, and a riding beast for his needs and his jihad

قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ" مَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ

A man approached 'Umar b. al-Khattab and said" "How much of this property can you legally keep

كَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عن شعيب، عن سيف، عن محمد، عن عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—Muhammad—Ubaydallah—Nafi‘—Aslam

فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ" الْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ ابْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

The people said" "The (right) words are the words of Ibn Abi Talib

فَقَالَ" مَا أَصْلَحَكَ وَأَصْلَحَ عِيَالَكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ غَيْرُهُ

‘Umar said" "What do you say, O 'All?", and ‘All replied, "(You can have) what will keep you and your family in a moderately good condition, but you have no right to this property beyond that

فاكثر القوم وعلي ع سَاكِتٌ، فَقَالَ" "مَا تَقُولُ يَا عَلِيُّ

The people suggested a large amount, while 'Ali (b. Abl Talib) remained silent

فَمَاذَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ يَحِلُّ لِي من هذا المال

What do you think, how much of this property can I legally keep

وَقَدْ شَغَلْتُمُونِي بِأَمْرِكُمْ

Now you have made me preoccupied with your affair

جَمَعَ النَّاسَ عُمَرُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ فَتْحُ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَدِمَشْقَ، فَقَالَ" إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً تَاجِرًا، يُغْنِي اللَّهُ عِيَالِي بِتِجَارَتِي

When ‘Umar received the news about the conquest of al-Qadisiyyah and Damascus, he assembled the people in Medina and said" "I was formerly a merchant, and God provided sufficiently for my family by means of my commerce

تَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عن سيف، عن محمد، عن عبيد الله بن عمر، عن نافع، عن ابن عمر، قَالَ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—Muhammad—‘Ubaydallah b. ‘Umar

وَيَبْدَأُ بِأَهْلِ الْفَيْءِ

He will deal with those enti-tled to the immovable booty first

وَيَرُمُّ أُمُورَ النَّاسِ بَعْدُ، وَيَتَعَاهَدَهُمْ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ وَالنَّوَازِلِ حَتَّى تُكْشَفَ

He will put the people's affairs right, and he will take care of the people at the time of misfortunes and calamities, until these are over

وَالْقَسْمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ، أَنْ يُعْطَى أَهْلُ الْبَلاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ بَلائِهِمْ

Equitable distribution means giving to the valiant people according to their bravery

فَقَالُوا جَمِيعًا" أَمَّا لِخَاصَّتِهِ فَقُوتُهُ وَقُوتُ عِيَالِهِ، لا وَكْسٌ وَلا شَطَطٌ، وَكِسْوَتُهُمْ وَكِسْوَتُهُ لِلشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ، وَدَابَّتَانِ إِلَى جِهَادِهِ وَحَوَائِجِهِ وَحِمْلانِهِ الى حجه وَعُمْرَتِهِ

All of them said" As for his private needs, his livelihood, and the livelihood of his family, neither more nor less; their garments and his garments for the winter and the summer; two riding beasts for his jihad, for attending to his needs, and for carrying him to his pilgrimage "haji) and to his 'umrah

لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَقُتِلَ رُسْتُمُ، وَقَدِمَتْ عَلَى عُمَرَ الْفُتُوحُ مِنَ الشَّامِ جَمَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ" مَا يَحِلُّ لِلْوَالِي مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ

When God granted victory to the Muslims, Rustam was killed, and the news of the victory in Syria reached ‘Umar, he assembled the Muslims and said" "How much of this property can the leader legally keep

كتب إلي السري، عن شعيب، عن سيف عن مُحَمَّد والمهلب وطلحة وعمرو وسعيد، قالوا

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—Muhammad, al-Muhallab, Talhah, ‘Amr, and Sa'id

فَإِذَا كَانَ هَذَا الْمَالُ ثَمَنَ دِينِ أَحَدِكُمْ هَلَكْتُمْ

If this money is the price of your religion, you will perish

فَهُمَا عُدَّتُنَا الَّتِي بِهَا أَفْضَيْنَا إِلَى مَا تَرَوْنَ

These are our provisions, and by virtue of these we attained to what you see

بَلْ أعد لَهُمْ مَا أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولَهُ طَاعَةً لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

Nay, I shall prepare for them what God and His Messenger have commanded us "to prepare)" obedience to God and to His Messenger

وَهِيَ فِتْنَةٌ لِمَنْ بَعْدِي

It would be a temptation to those who will come after me

وَقَانِي اللَّهُ شَرَّهَا

May God protect me from its wickedness

فَقَالَ" كَلِمَةٌ أَلْقَاهَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى فِيكَ

‘Umar said" "This is a sentence which Satan threw into your mouth

وَقَالَ قَائِلٌ" يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لَوْ تَرَكْتَ فِي بُيُوتِ الأَمْوَالِ عُدَّةً لِكَوْنٍ إِنْ كَانَ

Somebody said" "O Commander of the Faithful, would you leave in the treasury provisions for some "unexpected" eventuality

ثُمَّ كَتَبَ فِي إِعْطَاءِ أَهْلِ الْعَطَاءِ أَعْطِيَاتَهُمْ إِعْطَاءً وَاحِدًا سَنَةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ

Then 'Umar wrote a letter instructing that the payments be given to those who were entitled to them in one sum, in the year 15/636-37

أَلا فَبِهِمْ سُكِنَتِ الْمَدَائِنُ وَالْقُرَى، وَعَلَيْهِمْ جَرَى الصُّلْحُ، وَإِلَيْهِمْ أُدِّيَ الْجَزَاءُ، وَبِهِمْ سُدَّتِ الْفُرُوجُ وَدُوِّخَ الْعَدُوُّ

Is it not true that the cities and the villages were populated by them, that the peace treaties were administered by them, the poll tax was paid to them, that they made the frontier safe and that they subdued the enemy

وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ لِغَيْرِهِمْ

It was not allotted to others

وَقَالَ" الْفَيْءُ لأَهْلِ هَؤُلاءِ الأَمْصَارِ وَلِمَنْ لَحِقَ بِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ، وَأَقَامَ مَعَهُمْ

He said" "The booty belongs to the people of the newly established garrison towns (amar) and to those who joined them, gave them assistance and stayed with them

وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْمَدَائِنِ، فَصَارُوا بَعْدُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، انْتَقَلُوا عَنِ الْمَدَائِنِ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ وَالْبَصْرَةِ وَدِمَشْقَ وَحِمْصَ وَالأُرْدُنِ وَفِلَسْطِينَ وَمِصْرَ

These were the people of al-Mada’in who moved to al-Kufah, al-Basrah, Damascus, Hims, Jordan, Palestine, and Egypt

فَرَضَ عُمَرُ الْعَطَاءَ حِينَ فَرَضَ لأَهْلِ الْفَيْءِ الَّذِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ

When ‘Umar allotted the payments, he allotted them to the people entitled to share in the immovable booty (ahl al-fay) to whom God had restored it

قال ابو جعفر الطبرى" كتب إلي السري عن شعيب، عن سيف، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالْمُهَلَّبِ وَزِيَادٍ وَالْمُجَالِدِ وَعَمْرٍو، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَأَبِي ضَمْرَةَ عن عبد الله بن المستورد عن محمد بن سيرين، ويحيى ابن سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَالْمُسْتَنِيرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَزَهْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالُوا

Abu Ja‘far al-Tabari has said" According to al-Sari — Shu‘ayb — Sayf—Muhammad, Talhah, al-Muhallab, Ziyad, Mujalid, and ‘Amr —al-Sha‘bI; and Ismael—al-Hasan and Abu Pamrah—‘Abdallah b. al-Mustawrid—Muhammad b. Sirin and Yahya b. Sa'Id—Sa'Id b. al-Musayyab and al-Mustanir b. Yazid—Ibrahim and Zuhrah—Abu Salamah

فمات قبل ان يفعل

But ‘Umar died before he could implement this

وقال عمر قبل موته" لقد هممت أن أجعل العطاء أربعة آلاف أربعة آلاف، وألفا يجعلها الرجل في اهله، وألفا يزدوها معه، وألفا يتجهز بها، ألفا يترفق بها

‘Umar said before his death" "I planned to make the payments four thousand dirhams each" a man would give one thousand to his family; one thousand he would take with him "while traveling"; for one thousand he would equip himself; and for one thousand he would equip his home (yataraffaqu biha

ففرض لكل إنسان منهم ولعياله جريبتين في الشهر

‘Umar allotted to each of them and to his family two jaribas per month

ثم جمع ستين مسكينا، وأطعمهم الخبز، فأحصوا ما أكلوا، فوجدوه يخرج من جريبتين

Then he gathered sixty poor people and gave them bread to eat; they calculated what they ate and found that it was more than two jaribas

ثم سوى بين النساء بعد ذلك، وجعل الصبيان سواء على مائة مائة

He made the women after that equal, and he allotted to the boys one hundred dirhams each, equally

وجعل نساء أهل بدر في خمسمائة خمسمائة، ونساء من بعدهم الى الحديبية على أربعمائة أربعمائة، ونساء من بعد ذلك الى الأيام ثلاثمائة ثلاثمائة، ونساء أهل القادسية مائتين مائتين

He allotted to the wives of the participants in the battle of Badr five hundred dirhams each; to the wives of those who came after them, till al-Hudaybiyyah, four hundred each; to the wives of those who came after them, till the battles of Iraq and Syria,three hundred each; to the wives of the people of al-Qadisiyyah two hundred each

ففعل وفضل عائشة بألفين لمحبه رسول الله ص إياها فلم تأخذ

He gave 'A’ishah two thousand dirhams more than to the others because the Prophet loved her, but she did not accept that

فقال نسوه رسول الله ص" ما كان رسول الله ص يفضلنا عليهن في القسمة، فسو بيننا

The Prophet's wives said" "The Prophet did not prefer us to them in the division of his time; make us all equal!" 'Umar agreed

وأعطى نساء النبي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عشرة آلاف عشرة آلاف، إلا من جرى عليها الملك

He gave to the wives of the Prophet ten thousand dirhams each, except those who were slave girls

وكان فرض للعباس خمسة وعشرين ألفا- وقيل اثني عشر ألفا

He allotted to al-'Abbas twenty-five thousand dirhams, but according to another tradition, twelve thousand

وألحق بأهل بدر أربعة من غير أهلها" الحسن والحسين وأبا ذر وسلمان

He made four persons who had not participated in the battle of Badr equal to the participants" al-Hasan and al-Husayn, Abu Dharr, and Salman

وفرض لمن بعدهم وهم أهل هجر والعباد على مائتين

He allotted to those who came after them, i.e., the people of Hajar and the Christians of al-Hirah {al Ibad), two hundred dirhams

وفرض للروادف الربيع على مائتين وخمسين

To the fourth group he allotted two hundred and fifty dirhams

سوى كل طبقة في العطاء، قويهم وضعيفهم، عربهم وعجمهم

Members of each group received equal payment, whether they were strong or weak, Arabs or non-Arabs

ثم فرض للروادف" المثنى خمسمائة خمسمائة، ثم للروادف الثليث بعدهم، ثلاثمائة ثلاثمائة

Then he allotted to the second group of latecomers five hundred each; and to the third group three hundred each

وفرض لمن بعد القادسية واليرموك ألفا ألفا

And did the Emigrants not say the same when we made them equal with the Helpers

فقال" من قربت داره أحق بالزيادة، لأنهم كانوا ردءا للحوق وشجى للعدو

He replied" "Those who live close deserve more because they provided assistance in pursuit and constituted an obstruction for the enemy

وقيل له" قد سويت من بعدت داره بمن قربت داره وقاتلهم عن فنائه

It was also said to him" "But you have already made those who live for "from the battlefield" equal to those who live close and fought in defense of their homes
