[Machine] A group of Ansar people left Kufa for Medina, and they came to a neighborhood of the Bani Asad tribe who were widowed. They asked them for a transaction, but they had no goods for sale. They asked them for some villages, but they said they couldn't afford their villages. They continued to argue until they fought each other. The Bedouins left their houses and belongings for them and took a sheep from every ten of them. They went to Umar and told him about it. He praised Allah and thanked Him and said if he had been there, he would have done the same. He then wrote to the people of the cities and the people under protection to prepare a place for the guest. Qais then narrated that Abdul Rahman Ibn Abi Layla informed him that his father told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed some sheep among his companions, giving every ten individuals a sheep. He said it was a Sunnah. Qais also narrated that Ibn Abi Layla informed him that Umar wrote to prepare a place for the Muslims and the protected ones for a night stay. Ibn Abi Layla said, "I remember that the people of the land used to host us for a night stay, and we used to say 'Sham' in Persian language means dinner."
