English translation

2978. It was reported from Jubair bin Muṭ'im that he and 'Uthmān bin 'Affān came to speak to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about the division of the Khumus among Banū Hāshim and Banū Al-Muṭṭalib. I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, you gave a share to our brethren of Banū Al-Muṭṭalib and you did not give us anything, but our relationship to you is the same as theirs." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Rather, Banū Hāshim and Banū Al-Muṭṭalib are the same thing." Jubair said: "He did not give a share of that Khumus to Banū 'Abd Shams or Banū Nawfal as he gave to Banū Hāshim and Banū Al-Muṭṭalib." He said: "Abū Bakr used to divide the Khumus as the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did, except that he did not give to the relatives of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ what the Prophet ﷺ used to give them." He said: "And 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb and 'Uthmān gave them some of it after him." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2978 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَخْبَرَنِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ، أَنَّهُ جَاءَ هُوَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، يُكَلِّمَانِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا قَسَمَ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ بَيْنَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَسَمْتَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَلَمْ تُعْطِنَا شَيْئًا وَقَرَابَتُنَا وَقَرَابَتُهُمْ مِنْكَ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ، وَبَنُو الْمُطَّلِبِ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ» قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ: وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، وَلَا لِبَنِي نَوْفَلٍ، مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْخُمُسِ كَمَا قَسَمَ لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ، وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «يَقْسِمُ الْخُمُسَ، نَحْوَ قَسْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعْطِي قُرْبَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِيهِمْ»، قَالَ: «وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يُعْطِيهِمْ مِنْهُ، وَعُثْمَانُ بَعْدَهُ»

Commentary

'Uthmān, may Allāh be pleased with him, belonged to Banū 'Abd Shams while Jubair, may Allāh be pleased with him, was a member of Banū Nawfal. These two tribes did not have the kind of close association with Banū Hāshim as Banū Al-Muṭṭalib did.
