Hadith record

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Um ay r from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is captured by the enemy with his properties. Then the Muslims captured him. ‘How should they deal with his properties?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘If they capture him before the enemies secure for themselves his properties, they should be returned to him. If they capture him after the enemies secure for themselves his properties, such properties become as Fay’ for the Muslims and he deserves the right of having priority (al-Shuf’ ah) to purchase them before anyone else does.’”
