"عن ابنِ عباسٍ (قَالَ) كَانَ عمرُ يُعْطِينَا الخُمسَ نحوًا مما كَانَ يرى أَنَّهُ لَنَا فَرَغِبْنَا عن ذَلِكَ، فقلنَا: حقُّ ذَوِى القُربَى خُمسُ الخُمسِ، فقال عمرُ: إِنَّمَا جعلَ اللَّه الخُمُسَ لأصناف سمَّاها، فَأسْعَدُهُمْ بِهَا أكثرُهُمْ عددًا، وأَشَدُّهُمْ فاقةً، فأخَذ ذَلِكَ منا ناسٌ وتركهُ ناسٌ".

"From Ibn 'Abbas, who said: 'Umar used to give us a fifth, somewhat less than what he considered to be ours, so we were averse to that and said: 'The right of the near kin is a fifth of the fifth.' 'Umar said: 'Allah only assigned the fifth to the categories He named, and those most fortunate with it are those most numerous and most in need.' Some people took that from us, and some left it."
