Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giv –
ing to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said
about Allah’s Apostle, “May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us,
in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)” When Allah’s Apostle
was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did
not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Allah’s Apostle came to them and said,
“What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?” The learned
ones among them replied,” O Allah’s Apostle! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the
youngsters amongst us said, ‘May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the An –
sar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.’ ” Allah’s
Apostle replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have re –
cently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won’t you be pleased to see people go
with fortune, while you return with Allah’s Apostle to your houses? By Allah, what you will return
with, is better than what they are returning with.” The Ansar replied, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle, we are
satisfied’ Then the Prophet said to them.” You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then
be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise).” (Anas ad –
ded:) But we did not remain patient.

That while he was with Allah’s Apostle who was accompanied by the people on their way back
from Hunain, the bedouins started begging things of Allah’s Apostle so much so that they forced him
to go under a Samura tree where his loose outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah’s
Apostle stood up and said to them, “Return my garment to me. If I had as many camels as these trees,
I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward.”

While I was walking with the Prophet who was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick
hem, a bedouin came upon the Prophet and pulled his garment so violently that I could recognize
the impress of the hem of the garment on his shoulder, caused by the violence of his pull. Then the
bedouin said, “Order for me something from Allah’s Fortune which you have.” The Prophet turned to
him and smiled, and ordered that a gift be given to him.

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.”

Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah’s Apostle
after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it

them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would
yield). Allah’s Apostle said, “We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish.” Thus they stayed

Narrated Jabir:
Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “If the property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so
much and so much.” But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet had died. When the
Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, “Any person who has money
claim on Allah’s Apostle or whom Allah’s Apostle had promised something, should come to us.” So, I
went to him and said, “Allah’s Apostle had promised to give me so much an so much.” Abu Bakr
scooped up money with both hands thrice for me.” (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated this action
by scooping up with both hands and said, “Ibn Munkadir, another sub-narrator, used to illustrate it
in this way.”)
Narrated Jabir: Once I went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I
went to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time and said, “I asked you,
but you did not give me; then I asked you (for the second time) and you did not give me; then I asked
you (for the third time) but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be
considered a miser regarding my case.” Abu Bakr said, “You tell me that I am a miser with regard to
you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I had the inclination to give you.”
(In another narration Jabir added:) So, Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and
asked me to count it. I found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that
amount.
