4141. Sa’eed bin Al-Mūsāyyab narrated that Jubair bin Mut’im told him: “He and ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to speak to him about what he had distributed of the Khumus of Hunain to Banu Hāshim and Banu Al-Muṭṭalib bin ‘Abd Manaf. They said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, you distributed it to our brothers; Banu Al-Muṭṭalib bin ‘Abd Manaf, and you did not give us anything, and our relationship to you is the same as theirs.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to them: ‘I think that Hāshim and Al-Muṭṭalib are the same.’” Jubair bin Mut’im said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not allocate anything to Banu ‘Abd Shams or Banu Nawfal from that Khumus, as he allocated to Banu Hāshim and Banu Al-Muṭṭalib.” (Sahih)

Commentary
The purpose of Imâm An-Nasâ'î in mentioning this Hadîth is to display that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ gave his kith and kin from the Khumus or the one-fifth part of the spoils of war. This corroborates that the Prophet's ﷺ kith and kin have a share in the Khumus. But the problem which needs to be solved is: Does the right of the people of the Prophet's ﷺ household over the Khumus still exist, this is a matter of disagreement.
