حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلاَّمٍ الأَسْوَدَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبَسَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى بَعِيرٍ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَخَذَ وَبَرَةً مِنْ جَنْبِ الْبَعِيرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏

وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِي مِنْ غَنَائِمِكُمْ مِثْلُ هَذَا إِلاَّ الْخُمُسَ وَالْخُمُسُ مَرْدُودٌ فِيكُمْ ‏"

Explanation in Arabic

صلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالصحابة يومًا متجهًا إلى بعير من الغنائم، فلما سلَّم من صلاته أخذ وَبَرَةً من وبر البعير من جانبه، ثم قال في ضمن كلامٍ: ولا يجوز لي أن آخذ من غنائمكم مثل هذا الوبر، إلا الخُمس، والخُمس راجع إليكم، والمراد به بعد موته أو أنه تنازل عنه للمسلمين ومصالحهم، والمخاطب بذلك المؤمنين، والمراد بالمصالح كسد الثغور، وعمارة القناطر، وأرزاق القضاة، وعمال الصدقة.

  • جواز الصلاة إلى الدابة ليس بينه وبينها حائل.
  • لا يختص الامام بشيء من الغنائم، وإنما يكون له الخمس، والخمس لا يختص به كله، وإنما يأخذ منه قوته وما يلزمه، والباقي يصرف في مصالح المسلمين.

( عَمْرو بْن عَبَسَةَ ) : بِفَتَحَاتٍ ( إِلَى بَعِير ) : أَيْ مُتَوَجِّهًا إِلَيْهِ وَالْمَعْنَى جَعَلَهُ سُتْرَة لَهُ ( وَبَرَة ) : بِفَتَحَاتٍ أَيْ شَعْرَة. قَالَ فِي فَتْح الْوَدُود : الْوَبَرَة بِفَتْحَتَيْنِ وَاحِد مِنْ صُوف الْغَنَم ( مِثْل هَذَا ) : إِشَارَة إِلَى الْوَبَرَة عَلَى تَأْوِيل شَيْء ( وَالْخُمْس مَرْدُود فِيكُمْ ) : أَيْ مَصْرُوف فِي مَصَالِحكُمْ مِنْ السِّلَاح وَالْخَيْل وَغَيْر ذَلِكَ فِيهِ أَنَّ أَرْبَعَة أَخْمَاس الْغَنِيمَة لِلْغَانِمِينَ وَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ الشَّوْكَانِيُّ : لَا يَأْخُذ الْإِمَام مِنْ الْغَنِيمَة إِلَّا الْخُمْس وَيَقْسِم الْبَاقِي مِنْهَا بَيْن الْغَانِمِينَ , وَالْخُمْس الَّذِي يَأْخُذهُ…
