Volume 4, Book 53, Number 378:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
On the day (of the battle) of Hunain, Allah's Apostle favored some people in the distribution of the
booty (to the exclusion of others); he gave Al-Aqra' bin Habis one-hundred camels and he gave
'Uyaina the same amount, and also gave to some of the eminent Arabs, giving them preference in this
regard. Then a person came and said, "By Allah, in this distribution justice has not been observed, nor
has Allah's Pleasure been aimed at." I said (to him), "By Allah, I will inform the Prophet (of what you
have said), "I went and informed him, and he said, "If Allah and His Apostle did not act justly, who
else would act justly. May Allah be merciful to Moses, for he was harmed with more than this, yet he
kept patient."
