2984. (Another chain) from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā who said: "I heard 'Alī say: 'Al-'Abbās, Fāṭimah, Zaid bin Hārīthah and I met with the Prophet ﷺ. I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, if you wish, you may put me in charge of our share of this Khumus, as mentioned in the Book of Allāh, so that I may divide it while you are still alive, so that no one will dispute with me after you are gone?" So he did that. He said: "So I divided it when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was still alive. Then Abū Bakr put me in charge of it, until the last year of the Khilāfah of 'Umar, when a great deal of wealth came to him, and he took out our share, then he sent for me," and I said: We have no need of it this year, but the Muslims are in need of it, so give it to them." So he did that. Then no one called me to it after 'Umar. I met Al-'Abbās after I had left 'Umar, and he said: "O 'Alī, today you have deprived us of something that will never be returned to us." He was very smart." (Da'if)

2984 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْبَرِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، يَقُولُ: اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَالْعَبَّاسُ، وَفَاطِمَةُ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنْ رَأَيْتَ «أَنْ تُوَلِّيَنِي حَقَّنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْخُمُسِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَأَقْسِمْهُ حَيَاتَكَ كَيْ لَا يُنَازِعَنِي أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ»، فَافْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَقَسَمْتُهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ وَلَّانِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ آخِرُ سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَعَزَلَ حَقَّنَا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ: بِنَا عَنْهُ الْعَامَ غِنًى وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَارْدُدْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَدْعُنِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ، فَلَقِيتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بَعْدَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، حَرَمْتَنَا الْغَدَاةَ شَيْئًا لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا أَبَدًا، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَاهِيًا
