"عَنْ عبد الرحمن بن أبى ليلى قال: سَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا فَقُلتُ: أَخْبِرْنِى كَيْفَ صَنَعَ أَبُو بَكْرِ وَعُمَرُ فِى الْخُمُسِ نِصِيبَكُمْ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِى ولاَيَتِهِ أَخْمَاسٌ، وَمَا كَانَ فِيْهِ أَوْ فَانَاهُ وَأَمَّا عُمَرُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى فِى كُلِّ خمُسٍ حَتَّى كَانَ خُمُسُ السوس وجهُ مسابور، فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ: هَذَا نَصِيبُكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مِنَ الخُمُسِ، وَقَد أُخِلَّ بِبعْضِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَاشْتَدَّتْ حاجَتُهُمْ فَإنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ حَقَّكُمْ فَجَعَلنَاهُ فِى خَلَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يَأتِينَا مَالٌ فَأُوَفِّيَكُمْ حَقَّكُمْ مِنْهُ، فَقُلتُ: نَعَمْ. فَوَثَبَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ: لاَ تعرِضْ فِى الَّذِى لَنَا، فَقُلتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ أَلَسْنَا أَحَقَّ مِنْ أَرْفَقِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ وَسَمِعَ أمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَبَضَهُ، فَتُوفِّىَ عُمَرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأتيهُ مَالٌ، فَوالله مَا قَضَاهُ وَلاَ قَدَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِى وِلاَيَةِ عُثْمَانَ، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عَلِىٌّ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ: إنَّ الله حَرَّمَ الصَّدَقَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ، فَعوَّضَهُ سَهْمًا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ عِوَضًا مِمَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَحَرَّمَمَا عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ خاصَّةً دُونَ أُمَّتِهِ، فَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ سَهْمًا عِوَضًا مِمَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ".

"Narrated from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, who said: I asked 'Ali: 'Inform me how Abu Bakr and 'Umar dealt with your share of the one-fifth.' He said: 'As for Abu Bakr, there were no fifths in his rule, and whatever came to him he dealt with. As for 'Umar, he continued to give me my share from every fifth until the fifth of the Sus (and) the fifth of Masabur came.' He said, and I was with him: 'This is your share, the People of the House, from the one-fifth, and some of the Muslims have been left in need, and their necessity has grown severe. If you wish, you may leave your right, and we will place it toward the needs of the Muslims until wealth comes to us, and we will then pay you your right from it.' I said: 'Yes.' Then al-'Abbas leapt up and said: 'Do not touch what is ours.' I said to him: 'O Abu al-Fadl, are we not more entitled than the most lenient of the Muslims?' The Commander of the Faithful heard this and withheld it. 'Umar died before wealth came to him, and by Allah, he did not settle it, nor was I able to obtain it during the rule of 'Uthman.' Then 'Ali began to narrate and said: 'Allah prohibited charity for His Messenger, and so He compensated him with a share of the one-fifth in place of what was forbidden to him, and He prohibited it for his family specifically, apart from his nation, so He assigned them a share along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in place of what was forbidden to them.'"
