Chapter on Spoils Specially Belonging to the Imam (Anfal)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَفْوِ اَلْمَالِ قَالَ» لِلْإِمَامِ يَأْخُذُ اَلْجَارِيَةَ اَلرُّوقَةَ وَاَلْمَرْكَبَ اَلْفَارِهَ وَ اَلسَّيْفَ اَلْقَاطِعَ وَاَلدِّرْعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقْسَمَ اَلْغَنِيمَةُ فَهَذَا صَفْوُ اَلْمَالِ«.
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn Hilal, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Aban ibn Uthman, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about ‘the chosen portion of the wealth.’ Imam عليه السلام said: "It belongs to the Imam (of Ahlul Bayt عليه السلام). He takes the beautiful slave-girl, the excellent mount, the cutting sword, and the armor before the booty is divided. This is the chosen portion of the wealth."
