My grandfather, my father and I gave the pledge of allegiance to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ got me engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the Prophet ﷺ with a complaint. My father Yazid had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to give them to the poor) But I went and took them and brought them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did not intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Yazid, you will be rewarded for what you intended. O Ma'n, whatever you have taken is yours." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1422)
قَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَأَبِي وَجَدِّي وَخَطَبَ عَلَيَّ فَأَنْكَحَنِي وَخَاصَمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَكَانَ أَبِي يَزِيدُ خَرَجَ بِدَنَانِيرَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهَا فَوَضَعَهَا عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا إِيَّاكَ أَرَدْتُ بِهَا فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَكَ مَا نَوَيْتَ يَا يَزِيدُ وَلَكَ يَا مَعْنُ مَا أَخَذْتَ
[Machine] Ma'n said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Gather in your mosques. When people gather, let them give me the call to prayer.' So we gathered, being the first of the people, and we approached him. He came walking with us until he sat with us. Then, one of us spoke and said, 'Praise be to Allah, no one can praise Him adequately, nor is there anyone who can praise Him less than what is due to Him. There is no way out from Him except through Him. And something similar to this.' At this, the Messenger of Allah became angry and stood up. He paced back and forth while we remained silent and didn't converse with each other. We said, 'Allah must have favored us by allowing us to be the first to come to him and by doing what we did.' He then came and we found him in the mosque of such-and-such tribe. We spoke to him and he came walking with us until he sat down in the gathering that he was previously in or close to. Then, he said, 'Praise be to Allah. Whatever Allah wills, He sets in motion, and whatever He wills, He brings to an end. And verily, magic is part of expression.' Then he approached us, gave us instructions, spoke to us, and taught us."
مَعْنٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْتَمِعُوا فِي مَسَاجِدِكُمْ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فَلْيُؤْذِنُونِي قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَجَاءَ يَمْشِي مَعَنَا حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَتَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِلْحَمْدِ دُونَهُ مَقْصَرٌ وَلَيْسَ وَرَاءَهُ مَنْفَذٌ وَنَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَتَلَاوَمْنَا وَلَامَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا فَقُلْنَا خَصَّنَا اللهُ بِهِ أَنْ أَتَانَا أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ وَأَنْ فَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي مَعَنَا حَتَّى جَلَسَ فِيمَجْلِسِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَمَا شَاءَ جَعَلَ خَلْفَهُ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَمَرَنَا وَكَلَّمَنَا وَعَلَّمَنَا
AbulJuwayriyyah al-Jarmi said: I found a red pitcher containing dinars in Byzantine territory during the reign of Mu'awiyah. A man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ belonging to Banu Sulaym was our ruler. He was called Ma'an ibn Yazid. I brought it to him. He apportioned it among the Muslims. He gave me the same portion which he gave to one of them. He then said: Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no reward except after taking the fifth (from the booty), I would have given you (the reward). He then presented his own share to me, but I refused. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2753)
أَصَبْتُ جَرَّةً حَمْرَاءَ فِيهَا دَنَانِيرُ فِي إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي أَرْضِ الرُّومِ قَالَ وَعَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا يَقْسِمُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَعْطَانِي مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَى رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا نَفْلَ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الْخُمُسِ إِذًالَأَعْطَيْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ مَا أَنَا بِأَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكَ
