It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Battle of Hunayn, when the delegations of Banu Hawazin came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They said: O Muhammad! We are your own blood and tribe, show kindness to us, Allah will show kindness to you. Indeed, a trial has befallen us which is not hidden from you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Choose one from your women, wealth, or sons. They said: Since you have given us the choice regarding our lineage and wealth, we choose our sons. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever comes to me and the share of Banu Abdul Muttalib, I return it to you. When I have performed the Zuhr prayer, then say: We present the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as an intercessor before the believers and the believers as intercessors before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we request regarding our women and children. They did so, and when they said this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever comes to me and the share of Banu Abdul Muttalib, I return it to you. Upon hearing this, the Muhajireen said: Whatever comes to our share, we give it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them) said the same. Uyaina bin Badr said: As for my share and the share of Banu Fazarah, we will not give it. Aqra bin Habis also said: I and Banu Tamim will not return our shares. Abbas bin Mirdas said: I and Banu Sulaym will also not return our shares. At this, both tribes said: You have spoken wrongly; rather, our shares are for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! Return their women and sons to them. Whoever wants to keep something from the spoils (fay’), when Allah gives us the next spoils, we will give him six shares from it. After this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his camel and the people clung to him, saying: Distribute the spoils among us. They forced him to go towards the thorny acacia trees. The cloak of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was snatched away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! Return my cloak to me. By Allah! If there were camels equal to the trees of Tihamah, I would distribute them among you, and you will not find me miserly, cowardly, or a liar. Then he went near his camel, took a few hairs from its hump, held them between his index and middle finger, raised his finger upwards and said: O people! Not even this much from the spoils (fay’) is mine, except for the khums (one-fifth), and that too is distributed among you. Return even a thread and a needle, that is, even the smallest thing. Indeed, taking anything before the distribution of the spoils or fay’ will be a cause of shame, fire, and disgrace for a person on the Day of Resurrection. A man who had a bunch of hair stood up and said: I took this bunch to repair the cloth placed over the wound on my camel’s back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever is my share and the share of Banu Abdul Muttalib in this bunch, I forgive you for it. He said: O Messenger of Allah! When the matter has reached this extent, as I see, then I have no need for it, and he threw away the bunch.
