Narrated Jubair bin Mutim: On the day of Khaibar the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم divided the portion to his relatives among the Banu Hashim and Banu Abd al-Muttalib, and omitted Banu Nawfal and Banu Abd Shams. So I and 'Utham bin Affan went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and we said: Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Hashim whose superiority we do not deny because if the position in which Allah has placed you in relation to them ; but tell us about Banu Abd al-Muttalib to whom you have given something while omitting us though our relationship is the same as theirs. 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.

He asked: For whom do you think? Ibn Abbas replied: For the relatives of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم divided it among them. Umar presented it to us but we found it less than our right. We, therefore returned it to him and refused to accept it.

I spent it on its beneficiaries during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and Abu Bakr and of Umar. Some property was brought to him (Umar) and he called me and said: Take it. I said: I dod not want it. He said: Take it ; you have right to it. I said: We do not need it. So he deposited in the government treasury.

He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abu Bakr then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar. I met al-Abbas when I came out from Umar. He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom.

Messenger of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Messenger of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabiah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abdul Muttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was (thinking) about our matter. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry Abdul Muttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jazi to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had appointed collector of the fifths. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i. e. the amount of the dower).
