حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي بُکَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًا يَقُولُ وَلَّانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُمُسَ الْخُمُسِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ مَوَاضِعَهُ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَيَاةَ أَبِي بَکْرٍ وَحَيَاةَ عُمَرَ فَأُتِيَ بِمَالٍ فَدَعَانِي فَقَالَ خُذْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَا أُرِيدُهُ قَالَ خُذْهُ فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ قُلْتُ قَدْ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2983
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila: I heard Ali say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ assigned me the fifth (of the booty). I spent it on its beneficiaries during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.
