Rafi' bin Khadij reported that the Messenger of Allah; ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave to Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harb and Safwan. bin Umayya and 'Uyaina bin Hisn and Aqra' bin Habis, i. e. to every one of these persons, one hundred of camels, and gave to 'Abbas bin Mirdas less than this number. Upon this 'Abbas bin Mirdis said: You allot the share of my booty and that of my horse between 'Uyaina and Aqra'. Both Uyaina and Aqra' are in no way more eminent than Mirdas (my father) in the assembly. I am in no way inferior to any one of these persons. And he who is let down today would not be elevated. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then completed one hundred camels for him.

This hadith has been narrated by Sa'id bin Masruq with the same chain of transmitters (with the words): "The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) distributed the spoils of Hunain, and he (the Holy Prophet) gave one hundred camels to Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harb. The rest of the hadith is the same, but with this addition: "He bestowed upon" Alqama bin 'Ulatha one hundred (camels)."

This hadith has been narrated by Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters, but no mention has been made of Alqama bin 'Ulatha, nor of safwin bin Umayya, and he did not mention the verse in his hadith.

'Abdullah bin Zaid (RA) reported that when the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) conquered Hunain he distributed the booty, and he bestowed upon those whose hearts it was intended to win. It was conveyed to him (the Holy Prophet) that the Ansar cherished a desire that they should be given (that very portion) which the people (of Quraish) had got. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up and, after having praised Allah and lauded Him, addressed them thus: O people of Ansar, did I not find you erring and Allah guided you aright through me, and (in the state of) being destitute and Allah made you free from want through me, and in a state of disunity and Allah united you through me, and they (the Ansar) said: Allah and His Messenger are most benevolent. He (again) said: Why do you not answer me? They said: Allah and His Messenger are the most benevolent. He said, If you wish you should say so and so, and the event (should take) such and such course (and in this connection he made a mention) of so many things. 'Amr is under the impression that he has not been able to remember them. He (the Holy Prophet) further said: Don't you feel happy (over this state of affairs) that the people should go away with goats and camels, and you go to your places along with the Messenger of Allah? ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) The Ansar are inner garments (more close to me) and (other) people are outer garments. Had there not been migration, I would have been a man from among the Ansar. If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley (chosen) by the Ansar or narrow path (trodden) by them. And you would soon find after me preferences (over you in getting material benefits). So you should show patience till you meet me at the Haud (Kauthar).

Abdullah reported: On the day of Hunain, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) showed preference to some people in the distribution of the spoils. He bestowed on Aqra' bin Habis one hundred camels, and bestowed an equal (number) upon 'Uyaina, and bestowed on people among the elites of Arabia, and preferred them (to others) on that day, in the distribution (of spoils). Upon this a person said: By Allah, neither justice has been done in this distribution (of spoils), nor has the pleasure of Allah been sought in it. I (the Narrator) said: By Allah, I will certainly inform the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about it. So I came to him and informed him about what he had said. The colour of his (the Prophet's) face changed red like blood and he then said: Who would do justice, if Allah and His Messenger do not do justice? He further said: May Allah have mercy upon Moses (ؑ); he was tormented more than this, but he showed patience. I said: Never would I convey him (the Holy Prophet) after this (unpleasant) narration.

Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) distributed spoils (of war). Upon this a person said: This is a distribution in which the pleasure of Allah has not been sought. I came to the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and informed him in an undertone. He (the Holy Prophet) was deeply angry at this and his face became red till I wished that I had not made a mention of it to him. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: Moses (ؑ) was tormented more than this, but he showed patience.

Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) at Jirana on his way back from Hunain, and there was in the clothes of Bilal (RA) some silver. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a handful out of that and bestowed it upon the people. He (the person who had met the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) at Ji'rana) said to him: Muhammad, do justice. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe be upon thee, who would do justice if I do not do justice, and you would be very unfortunate and a loser if I do not do justice. Upon this Umar bin Khattab (RA) said: Permit me to kill this hypocrite. The (the Holy Prophet) said: May there be protection of Allah! People would say that I kill my companions. This man and his companions would recite the Qur'an but it would not go beyond their throat, and they swerve from it just as the arrow goes through the prey.

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Abdul Wahhab al-Thaqafi narrated to us, he said: I heard Yahya ibn Sa'id say: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah.
And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us, Qurrah ibn Khalid narrated to me, Abu al-Zubayr narrated to me, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to distribute the spoils of war, and he continued with the hadith.

Abu Said Khudri reported that 'Ali (RA) sent some gold alloyed with dust to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) distributed that among four men, al-Aqra bin Habis Hanzali and Uyaina bin Badr al-Fazari and 'Alqama bin 'Ulatha al-'Amiri, then to one person of the tribe of Kilab and to Zaid al-Khair al-Ta'l, and then to one person of the tribe of Nabhan. Upon this the people of Quraish felt angry and said: He (the Holy Prophet) gave to the chiefs of Najd and ignored us. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I have done it with a view to con- cillating them. Then there came a person with thick beard, prominent cheeks, deep sunken eyes and protruding forehead and shaven head. He said: Muhammad, fear Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: If I disobey Allah, who would then obey Him? Have I not been (sent as the) most trustworthy among the people of the-world? -but you do not repose trust in me. That person then went back. A person among the people then sought permission (from the Holy Prophet) for his murder. According to some, it was Khalid bin Walid who sought the permission. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: From this very person's progeny there would arise people who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throat; they would kill the followers of Islam and would spare the idol-worshippers. They would glance through the teachings of Islam so hurriedly just as the arrow passes through the pray. If I were to ever find them I would kill them like 'Ad.

Abu Said al-Khudri reported: 'Ali bin Abu Talib sent to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) from Yemen some gold alloyed with clay in a leather bag dyed in the leaves of Mimosa flava. He distributed it among four men. 'Uyaina bin Hisna, Aqra' bin Habis and Zaid al-Khail, and the fourth one was either Alqama bin 'Ulatha or 'Amir bin Tufail. A person from among his (Prophet's) Companions said: We had a better claim to this (wealth) than these (persons). This (remark) reached the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) upon which he said: Will you not trust me, whereas I am a trustee of Him Who is in the heaven? The news come to me from the heaven morning and evening. Then there stood up a person with deep sunken eyes, prominent cheek bones, and elevated forehead, thick beard, shaven head, tucked up loin cloth, and he said: Messenger of Allah, fear Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe to thee. Do I not deserve most to fear Allah amongst the people of the earth? That man then returned. Khalid bin Walid then said: Messenger of Allah, should I not strike his neck? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he may be observing the prayer. Khalid said: How many observers of prayer are there who profess with their tongue what is not in their heart? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I have not been commanded to pierce through the hearts of people, nor to split their bellies (insides). He again looked at him and he was going back. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: There would arise a people from the progeny of this (man) who would recite the Qur'an glibly, but it would not go beyond their throats; they would (hurriedly) pass through (the teachings of their) religion just as the arrow passes through the prey. I conceive that he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find them I would certainly kill them as were killed the (people of) Thamud.
