Malik b. Aus b. al-Hadathan reported "Umar b. al-Khattab as saying that Allah appointed His Messenger a special portion in this fai’* which He gave to no other. He then recited, “What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger from them . . . omnipotent" (Al-Qur’an; 59
6). This was purely for Allah's Messenger ﷺ who used to give his family their annual contribution from this property, then take what remained and deal with it as he did with Allah’s property. *Fai’ is the term used for tribute from territory the Muslims have conquered. (Bukhari and Muslim.)عَن مالكِ بن أوْسِ بنِ الحَدَثانِ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ خَصَّ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْفَيْءِ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ عطه أحدا غيرَه ثُمَّ قَرَأَ (مَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُم) إِلى قولِه (قديرٌ) فكانتْ هَذِه خَالِصَة لرَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَتِهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ. ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مَا بَقِيَ فَيَجْعَلُهُ مَجْعَلَ مَالِ اللَّهِ
