Aban narrated that Sulaym said “Abul Mukhtar ibn Abi Sa’aq sent this poem to Umar ibn Khattab “
- Somebody pass my this message to Amirul Mumineen (Umar) that you are trustee of Allah’s wealth and everything.
- You are Allah’s trustee amongst us and for whoever is the trustee of the Allah of people, my chest is bowed down.
- Be they from town or village, do not leave anyone that they violate the trust in the property of Allah, be that property connected to food or animals.
- And send a message to Numan ibn Ma’aqal, and Hazm, and Bishr.
- And to Hajjaj and understand their accounts, and of that man also who is in the market – Mawla Bani Badr.
- And those two followers – do not forget them, and Sehr Bani Gazwan who is the richest in the community.
- And Aasim, his suitcase is also not empty and ibn Gallab, who is the arrow shooter in Bani Nasr.
- And that property (wealth) that has accumulated with ibn Mohriz arid he had plenty in town.
- So send a man to all of these – they will confirm and will let you know everything concerning this wealth – from these who are understanding.
- May my family be sacrificed for you with all these, take a share from them – surely they will be happy if you give them a share and distribute wealth.
- But do not call me to witness because I am hidden but I can see strange things of the time.
- I can see horses like smallpox, and swords in shining states, and spear of Khattiyyah equivalent to ants and drops of rain.
- And I can see folded quilts where they are kept and folded sheets.
- The business man, when he came with perfumes and bag of Mishq (perfume) which started roaming in head.
- When they stopped, we stopped and when they fought we also fought because they had wealth and we did not.”
So ibn Gallabe Misry said
Someone past my this message to Abul Mukhtar that I came to him and I wet neither a relative nor a relative through in-laws.
l did not have any property to which I became inheritor neither were there any sadqa of prisoners, or the wealth of Ghadr.
But horses only needed to be spurred in every war. And it was my patience when death was behind spears.
When the clips of shields were hiding the chest I was restraining myself from those things by such swords that were many.
Sulaym said: “That year Umar ibn Khattab made it compulsory that they divided the wealth into half, due to the poem of Abul Mukhtar, but he did not make it compulsory for Qunfuz although he also was from his governors and whatever was taken from him was all returned. That was almost 20000 dirham and from that he neither took 0% or 20%.
And from his governors on whom distribution was compulsory, there was Abu Hurrayrah who was the governor of Bahrain. He included his wealth so it reached upto 24000. So he declared 2000 compulsory on him.”
Aban said that Sulaym said: “I met Ali, Salwatullah Alayhi, I asked him about whatever Umar had done. He said: {“Do you know why he stopped from Qunfuz and did not make anything compulsory?”}. So I said NO. He said: {“Because he is that man who had hit Fatimah (as) when she came in- between myself and those people. So she, Salwatullah Alayha, passed away and she had the effect of being hit by a whip on her shoulder.”}”
