Hadis Imam Abu Daud about Tribute, Spoils, and Rulership (Al-Kharaj, Wal-Fai' Wal-Imarah)

Book 19 : Hadith 2952

Narrated A man:

Sulaym ibn Mutayr reported on the authority of his father that Mutayr went away to perform hajj.

When he reached as-Suwaida', a man suddenly came searching for medicine and ammonium anthorhizum extract, and he said: A man who heard the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) addressing the people commanding and prohibiting them, told me that he said: O people, accept presents so long as they remain presents; but when the Quraysh quarrel about the rule, and the presents are given for the religion of one of you, then leave them alone.

Book 19 : Hadith 2953

Narrated Dhul-Zawa'id:

Mutayr said: I heard a man say: I heard the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) in the Farewell Pilgrimage. He was commanding and prohibiting them (the people). He said: O Allah, did I give full information? They said: Yes. He said: When the Quraysh quarrel about the rule among themselves, and the presents become bribery, them leave them. The people were asked: Who was he (who narrated this tradition)? They said: This was Dhul-Zawa'id, a Companion of the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam).

Book 19 : Hadith 2955

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

A son of Adi ibn Adi al-Kindi said that Umar ibn AbdulAziz wrote (to his governors): If anyone asks about the places where spoils (fay') should be spent, that should be done in accordance with the decision made by Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). The believers considered him to be just, according to the saying of the Prophet (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam): Allah has placed truth upon Umar's tongue and heart. He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them, deducting no fifth from it, nor taking it as booty.

Book 19 : Hadith 2956

Narrated AbuDharr:

I heard the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) say: Allah, the Exalted, has placed truth on Umar's tongue and he speaks it.

Book 19 : Hadith 2961

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

Malik ibn Aws al-Hadthan said: One of the arguments put forward by Umar was that he said that the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) received three things exclusively to himself: Banu an-Nadir, Khaybar and Fadak. The Banu an-Nadir property was kept wholly for his emergent needs, Fadak for travellers, and Khaybar was divided by the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) into three sections: two for Muslims, and one as a contribution for his family. If anything remained after making the contribution of his family, he divided it among the poor Emigrants.

Book 19 : Hadith 2963

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

Fatimah was demanding (the property of) sadaqah of the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) at Medina and Fadak, and what remained from the fifth of Khaybar. Aisha quoted AbuBakr as saying: The Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) said: We are not inherited; whatever we leave is sadaqah. The family of Muhammad will eat from this property, that is, from the property of Allah. They will not take more then their sustenance.

Book 19 : Hadith 2966

Narrated Umar ibn AbdulAziz:

Al-Mughirah (ibn Shu'bah) said: Umar ibn AbdulAziz gathered the family of Marwan when he was made caliph, and he said: Fadak belonged to the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam), and he made contributions from it, showing repeated kindness to the poor of the Banu Hashim from it, and supplying from it the cost of marriage for those who were unmarried. Fatimah asked him to give it to her, but he refused. That is how matters stood during the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) till he passed on (i.e. died).

When AbuBakr was made ruler he administered it as the Prophet (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) had done in his lifetime till he passed on. Then when Umar ibn al-Khattab was made ruler he administered it as they had done till he passed on. Then it was given to Marwan as a fief, and it afterwards came to Umar ibn AbdulAziz.

Umar ibn AbdulAziz said: I consider I have no right to something which the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) refused to Fatimah, and I call you to witness that I have restored it to its former condition; meaning in the time of the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam).

Book 19 : Hadith 2967

Narrated AbuBakr:

AbutTufayl said: Fatimah came to AbuBakr asking him for the inheritance of the Prophet (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam). AbuBakr said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) say: If Allah, Most High, gives a Prophet some means of sustenance, that goes to his successor.

Book 19 : Hadith 2969

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

AbulBakhtari said: I heard from a man a tradition which I liked. I said to him: Write it down for me. So he brought it clearly written to me.

(It says): Al-Abbas and Ali entered upon Umar when Talhah, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa'd were with him. They (Abbas and Ali) were disputing.

Umar said to Talhah, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa'd: Do you not know that the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) said: All the property of the Prophet (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) is sadaqah (alms), except what he provided for his family for their sustenance and their clothing. We are not to be inherited.

They said: Yes, indeed. He said: The Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) used to spend from his property on his family, and give the residue as sadaqah (alms). The Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) then died, and AbuBakr ruled for two years. He would deal with it in the same manner as the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) did. He then mentioned a little from the tradition of Malik ibn Aws.

Book 19 : Hadith 2976

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Yazid ibn Hurmuz said that when Najdah al-Haruri performed hajj during the rule of Ibn az-Zubayr, he sent someone to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the portion of the relatives (in the fifth). He asked: For whom do you think? Ibn Abbas replied: For the relatives of the Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam). The Apostle of Allah (Sholallahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam) divided it among them. Umar presented it to us but we found it less than our right. We, therefore returned it to him and refused to accept it.
