Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: AbulBakhtari said: I heard from a man a tradition which I liked. I said to him: Write it down for me. So he brought it clearly written to me. (It says): Al-Abbas and Ali entered upon Umar when Talhah, az-Zubayr, Abdur Rahman and Saad were with him. They (Abbas and Ali) were disputing. Umar said to Talhah, az-Zubayr, Abdur Rahman and Saad: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: All the property of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is sadaqah (alms), except what he provided for his family for their sustenance and their clothing. We are not to be inherited. They said: Yes, indeed. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to spend from his property on his family, and give the residue as sadaqah (alms). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then died, and Abu Bakr ruled for two years. He would deal with it in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did. He then mentioned a little from the tradition of Malik ibn Aws.

I said: Messenger of Allah, you have divided (the fifth) among our brethren Banu Abd al-Muttalib, but you have not given us anything, though our relationship to you is the same as theirs. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The Banu Hisham and the Banu Abd al-Muttalib are one. Jubair said: He did not divide the fifth among the Banu Abd Shams and the Banu Nawfal as he divided among the Banu Hashim and the Banu Abd al-Muttalib. He said: Abu Bakr used to divide the fifth like the division of Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم except that he did not give the relatives of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, as he gave them. Umar bin al-Khattab and Uthman after him used to give them (a portion) from it.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is no distinction between us and Banu Abd al-Muttalib in pre-Islamic days and in Islam. We and they are one, and he صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم intertwined his fingers.
