It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik Ashja'i, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We participated in a battle in which our commander was Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas, may Allah be pleased with him. It happened that we were afflicted with severe hunger. We passed by a people who had slaughtered camels. I (Awf) said to them: If you let me eat from these, I can prepare the meat, etc., for you. They said: Fine. So I did their work and they gave me something to eat. I took it to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, but he refused to eat. Then I went to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah, may Allah be pleased with him, but he also refused to eat. Then, when on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah I was sent to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he asked: Are you the ones with the camels? I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not say anything more than this.
