[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Battle of Hunayn, people were asking him questions. A camel surrounded him and grabbed hold of his cloak that was on a tree branch. He said, "Return my cloak to me. Do you fear that I am stingy? If Allah were to give me blessings like the abundance of dates from Dumat al-Jandal, I would distribute it among you, and yet you would not find me to be stingy, cowardly, or a liar." Then he took a handful from the top of his camel's saddle and said, "What do I have that Allah has given you? There is nothing like this except for the fifth (khums), which is due from you. Return the thread and the needle, for the stolen goods are disgraceful and unlawful."

malik:21-24Yaḥyá > Mālik > ʿAbd Rabbih b. Saʿīd > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Said from Amr ibn Shuayb that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back from Hunayn heading for al-Jiirrana, the people crowded around so much to question him that his she-camel backed into a tree, which became entangled in his cloak and pulled it off his back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Return my cloak to me. Are you afraid that I will not distribute among you what Allah has given you as spoils. By He in whose hand my self is! Had Allah given you spoils equal to the number of acacia trees on the plain of Tihama, I would have distributed it among you. You will not find me to be miserly, cowardly, or a liar." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got down and stood among the people, and said, "Hand over even the needle and thread, for stealing from the spoils is disgrace, fire, ignominy on the Day of Rising for people who do it." Then he took a bit of camel fluff or something from the ground and said, "By He in whose hand my self is! What Allah has made spoils for you is not mine - even the like of this! - except for the tax of one fifth, and the tax of one fifth is returned to you."

[Machine] The Prophet, ﷺ , was returning from the Battle of Hunayn when people continuously asked him for something. His she-camel stumbled and snatched his cloak, causing it to be caught on a tree. He said, "Return my cloak to me! Are you afraid that I am being stingy with it? By Allah, if Allah were to give you blessings equal to the mountains of Samur and I were to distribute them among you, you would still not find me to be stingy, cowardly, or a liar." Then he took a handful of barley from the load of a camel, lifted it up and said, "I have nothing from what Allah has given you nor anything like it except one-fifth. And one-fifth, I am returning it back to you. Then, you will not find me stingy, cowardly, or a liar." When it reached the share of the fifth, a man came and claimed it, saying that it belonged to him as a seamstress or tailor. He said, "Return the seamstress and the tailor, as the portion that was taken without right is a disgrace, fire, and burden on the Day of Judgment."
