"Shall I admit 'Ali and 'Abbas?'' 'Umar allowed them to enter. Al-'Abbas
said "O Chief of the believers! Judge between me and the oppressor
('Ali)." Then there was a dispute (regarding the property of Bani Nadir)
between them ('Abbas and 'Ali). 'Uthman and his companions said, "O Chief
of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other." Umar
said, "Be patient! beseech you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven
and the Earth Exist! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our property is
not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity,' and by
this Allah's Apostle meant himself?" On that the group said, "He
verily said so." 'Umar then faced 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I
beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that Allah's Apostle said so?"
They both replied, "Yes". 'Umar then said, "Now I am talking to
you about this matter (in detail) . Allah favored Allah's Apostle with some of
this wealth which He did not give to anybody else, as Allah said: 'What Allah
bestowed as Fai (Booty on His Apostle for which you made no expedition... '
(59.6)
So
that property was totally meant for Allah's Apostle, yet he did not collect it
and ignore you, nor did he withhold it with your exclusion, but he gave it to
you and distributed it among you till this much of it was left behind, and the
Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his family and
then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah's
wealth. The Prophet did so during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by Allah,
do you know that?" They replied, "Yes." 'Umar then addressed
'Ali and 'Abbas, saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know
that?" Both of them replied, "Yes." 'Umar added, "Then
Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said 'I am the successor of
Allah's Apostle' and took over all the Prophet's property and disposed of it in
the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do, and you were present then."
Then he turned to 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You both claim that Abu Bakr
did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah knows that Abu Bakr was
honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is right in managing it.
Then
Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, 'I said: I am the successor of Allah's Apostle
and Abu Bakr.' So I took over the property for two years and managed it in the
same way as Allah's Apostle, and Abu Bakr used to do. Then you both ('Ali and
'Abbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O 'Abbas! You came to me to
ask me for your share from nephew's property; and this ('Ali) came to me asking
for his wives share from her father's property, and I said to you both, 'If you
wish, I will place it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it
in the same way as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing
since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to me anymore about
it.'
Then
you both said, 'Give it to us on that (condition).' So I gave it to you on that
condition. Now I beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that
condition?" The group (whom he had been addressing) replied,
"Yes." 'Umar then addressed 'Abbas and 'Ali saying, "I beseech
you both by Allah, didn't I give you all that property on that condition?"
They said, "Yes." 'Umar then said, "Are you now seeking a
verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and
the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is
established; and if you both are unable to manage this property, then you can
hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on your behalf." (See,

a source of reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and
for another, a source of sin. The man for whom they are a source of reward, is
the one who keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them with long ropes and lets
them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat
of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they
break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung
will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass a river and drink from
it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be
written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that
man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others
for help or beg his bread, and at the same time he does not forget Allah's
right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents it to
be used in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For
the man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source
of sin." Then Allah's Apostle was asked about donkeys. He said,
"Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this
comprehensive Verse:
"Then
anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall

Jabir added, "The Prophet arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja.
And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the state of
Ihram, saying, "Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual
relation)." Jabir added, "The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our
wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying,
"When there remains only five days between us and the Day of Arafat he
orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will
proceed to 'Arafat with our male organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed
out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah's Apostle stood up
and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most
truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not
brought the Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so
finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would
not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram and listened to
the Prophet and obeyed him." (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

offer it can do so," lest the people should take it as a Sunna

Narrated
Ibn 'Abbas:
When
the time of the death of the Prophet approached while there were some men in
the house, and among them was 'Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said,
"Come near let me write for you a writing after which you will never go
astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the
Quran, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house
differed and disputed. Some of them said, "Come near so that Allah's
Apostle may write for you a writing after which you will not go astray,"
while some of them said what 'Umar said. When they made much noise and differed
greatly before the Prophet, he said to them, "Go away and leave me."
Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was a great disaster that their difference and
noise prevented Allah's Apostle from writing that writing for them.
