It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Mu‘awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about the man who had asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a small thing before the distribution of the spoils of war, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied to him: Leave it until it is distributed among them. The words of the narrator ‘Itab are: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave it until we ourselves distribute it, then if you wish, we will give you the rope used to tie the camel’s knee, and if you wish, we will give you the rope.
