1600. ‘Amr bin Shu’aib reported from his father, from his grandfather, that Hilāl — a person from the tribe of Banū Mut’ān, came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with a tenth of his honey. He had asked him (the Prophet ﷺ) to protect a valley of his known as Salabah. So the Prophet ﷺ protected that valley for him. When ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb became the leader (of the Muslims), Sufyān bin Wahb wrote to him, asking him regarding this. ‘Umar wrote back to him: “If he gives you what he used to give to the Prophet ﷺ, then protect Salabah for him. And if he does not, then those (bees) are bees of the wild; whoever desires may eat of it.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

1600 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمِصْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَ هِلَالٌ أَحَدُ بَنِي مُتْعَانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعُشُورِ نَحْلٍ لَهُ، وَكَانَ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِيَ لَهُ وَادِيًا، يُقَالُ لَهُ: سَلَبَةُ، فَحَمَى لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَلِكَ الْوَادِي، فَلَمَّا وُلِّيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «إِنْ أَدَّى إِلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عُشُورِ نَحْلِهِ، فَاحْمِ لَهُ سَلَبَةَ، وَإِلَّا، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ ذُبَابُ غَيْثٍ يَأْكُلُهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ»،
