The Prophet divided and distributed something as he used to do for some of his distributions. A
man from the Ansar said, “By Allah, in this division the pleasure of Allah has not been intended.” I
said, “I will definitely tell this to the Prophet .” So I went to him while he was sitting with his com –
panions and told him of it secretly. That was hard upon the Prophet and the color of his face
changed, and he became so angry that I wished I had not told him. The Prophet then said, “Moses
was harmed with more than this, yet he remained patient.”
