Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, when the people of the Ash‘ari tribe run short of provisions during a battle, or when the food of their families in Madinah becomes scarce, they gather whatever they have in a cloth and then distribute it equally among themselves. These people are from me and I am from them (meaning I am pleased with them and I like such unity).
