Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing war booty at Ji‘ranah when a man stood up and said: Be just, you have not acted justly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Woe to you! If I do not act justly, then who will? Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allow me, I will strike the neck of this hypocrite. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave him, he will be with his companions who will recite the Qur’an but it will not go beyond their throats; they will leave the religion just as an arrow passes through its prey.
