حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْبَرِيدِ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَاضِي الرَّيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيًّا، يَقُولُ:
اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَفَاطِمَةُ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَبِرَ سِنِّي، وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي، وَكَثُرَتْ مُؤْنَتِي، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنْ تَأْمُرَ لِي بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَافْعَلْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَعَلْتُ، فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْمُرَ لِي بِمَا أَمَرْتَ فَافْعَلْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنْتَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضًا كَانَتْ مَعِيشَتِي مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ قَبَضْتَهَا مِنِّي، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَرُدَّهَا عَلَيَّ فَافْعَلْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُوَلِّيَنِي هَذَا الْحَقَّ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللهُ لَنَا فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي هَذَا الْخُمُسِ فَأَقْسِمَهُ فِي حَيَاتِكَ فَلَا يُنَازِعُنِيهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَوَلَّانِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ، ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ، ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ عُمَرُ فَقَسَمْتُهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ، حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ، وَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَعَزَلَ خُمُسًا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، هَذَا حَقُّكُمْ، فَخُذْ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، بِنَا الْعَامَ عَنْهُ غِنًى، وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَارْدُدْهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَرَدَّهُ عُمَرُ تِلْكَ السَّنَةَ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَدْعُنِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ، حَتَّى قُمْتُ مَقَامِي هَذَا، فَلَقِيَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، لَقَدْ نَزَعْتَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا أَبَدًا

✧ I, Fatimah, al-Abbas, and Zayd b. Harithah gathered together. Al-Abbas said: "O Messenger of God, I have grown old, my bones have become thin, and my expenses have increased. If you see fit, O Messenger of God, to order for me such-and-such measures of food, then do so." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I have done so." Fatimah said: "O Messenger of God, if you see fit to order for me what you ordered, then do so." The Prophet ﷺ said: "I have done that." Zayd b. Harithah said: "O Messenger of God, you had given me some land from which I made my living, then you took it back from me. If you see fit to return it to me, then do so." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I have done that." I said: "O Messenger of God, if you see fit to entrust to me this right that God has assigned to us in His Book regarding this fifth, so that I may distribute it during your lifetime and no one will dispute it with me after you, then do so." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I have done that." So the Messenger of God ﷺ entrusted it to me, and I distributed it during his lifetime. Then Abu Bakr entrusted it to me, and I distributed it during his lifetime. Then Umar entrusted it to me, and I distributed it during his lifetime, until the last year of Umar's caliphate, when a large amount of wealth came to him and he set aside a fifth. He then sent for me and said: "O Ali, this is your due, so take it." I said: "O Commander of the Faithful, we have no need of it this year, and the Muslims have need of it, so return it to them." Umar returned it that year. Then no one called me to it after Umar, until I stood in this position of mine. Al-Abbas met me and said: "O Ali, today you have taken away from us something that will never be returned to us."
