English translation

2970. It was reported from Ibn Shihāb, that 'Urwah informed him, that 'Aishah informed him of this Hadīth, she added: "Then Abū Bakr refused to grant her, and said: 'I am not going to leave anything which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to do, but I shall do it. I fear that if I leave any matter which he used to do then I will deviate (from the Right Path).' As regards to the Sadaqah (charity) in Al-Madīnah; 'Umar gave it to 'Alī and 'Abbās, which was dominated by 'Alī. As for Khaibar and Fadak; 'Umar held it and said: 'They are Sadaqah (charity) of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. It was exclusively reserved for his expenditures and urgent needs. Their management was entrusted to the one in authority (after The Prophet ﷺ). He (Az-Zuhri) said: "And it remain like that until today." (Ṣaḥīh)

2970 - حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ: أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ فِيهِ: فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ : لَسْتُ تَارِكًا شَيْئًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلَّا عَمِلْتُ بِهِ، إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ تَرَكْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ أَزِيغَ، فَأَمَّا صَدَقَتُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَفَعَهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ، وَعَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَغَلَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَمَّا خَيْبَرُ، وَفَدَكُ فَأَمْسَكَهُمَا عُمَرُ، وَقَالَ: هُمَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتَا لِحُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي تَعْرُوهُ، وَنَوَائِبِهِ، وَأَمْرُهُمَا إِلَى مَنْ وَلِيَ الْأَمْرَ، قَالَ: فَهُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ
