5-54 Ahmad ibn Zyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamedany - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of several others that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
There is one-fifth levy on five things: treasures, mines, what is extracted from the sea; and booties.” Ibn Abi Umayr forgot the fifth.The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “I think that the fifth item which Ibn Abi Umayr had forgotten is what a man inherits, but knows that it consists of both legally earned and illegally earned wealth and he doesn’t know the owner of what is illegally earned. Also the illegal property is not exactly known. That is why he pays the one-fifth levy on it.”
5-54 حدثنا أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي ابن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن غير واحد، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
الخمس على خمسة أشياء: على الكنوز، والمعادن، والغوص، والغنيمة، ونسي ابن أبي عمير الخامسقال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه: أظن الخامس الذي نسيه ابن أبي عمير مالا يرثه الرجل وهو يعلم أن فيه من الحلال والحرام،، ولا يعرف أصحاب الحرام فيؤديه إليهم، ولا يعرف الحرام بعينه فيجتنبه، فيخرج منه الخمس
