On the day (of the battle) of Hunain, Messenger of Allah ﷺ favored some people in the distribution of the booty (to the exclusion of others); he gave Al-Aqra' bin HʿAbis one-hundred camels and he gave 'Uyaina the same amount, and also gave to some of the eminent Arabs, giving them preference in this regard. Then a person came and said, "By Allah, in this distribution justice has not been observed, nor has Allah's Pleasure been aimed at." I said (to him), "By Allah, I will inform the Prophet (of what you have said), "I went and informed him, and he said, "If Allah and His Apostle did not act justly, who else would act justly. May Allah be merciful to Moses, for he was harmed with more than this, yet he kept patient."

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُنَاسًا فِي الْقِسْمَةِ فَأَعْطَى الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَأَعْطَى أُنَاسًا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْعَرَبِ فَآثَرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْقِسْمَةِ۔ قَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقِسْمَةَ مَا عُدِلَ فِيهَا وَمَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ۔ فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ لأُخْبِرَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْدِلِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ۔»

When it was the day of Hunain, Prophet favored some people over some others (in the distribution of the booty). He gave Al-Aqra' one-hundred camels and gave Uyaina the same, and also gave other people (of Quraish). A man said, "Allah's Pleasure was not the aim, in this distribution." I said, "I will inform the Prophet (about your statement)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled more this but he remained patient."

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَاسًا أَعْطَى الأَقْرَعَ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَأَعْطَى نَاسًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِسْمَةِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ لأُخْبِرَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ

On the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed preference (to some) people in the distribution of the spoils. He bestowed on Aqra' b. Habis one hundred camels, and bestowed an equal (number) upon 'Uyainah, and bestowed on people among the elites of Arabia, and preferred them (to others) on that day, in the distribution (of spoils). Upon this a person said: By Allah, neither justice has been done in this distribution (of spoils), nor has the pleasure of Allah been sought in it. I (the narrator ) said: By Allah, I will certainly inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. 

I came to him and informed him about what he had said. The color of his (the Prophet's) face changed red like blood and he then said: "Who would do justice, if Allah and His Messenger do not do justice?" He further said: "May Allah have mercy upon Moses; he was tormented more than this, but he showed patience." I said: Never would I convey him (the Holy Prophet) after this (unpleasant) narration.

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاسًا فِي الْقِسْمَةِ، فَأَعْطَى الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ، وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَأَعْطَى أُنَاسًا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْعَرَبِ وَآثَرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْقِسْمَةِ۔ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا عُدِلَ فِيهَا وَمَا أُرِيدَ فِيهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ۔ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ لأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ۔ 

قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ قَالَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَانَ كَالصِّرْفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْدِلِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ»، قَالَ قُلْتُ: لاَ جَرَمَ لاَ أَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَهَا حَدِيثًا۔

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No one should convey to me anything regarding any of my Companions, for I love that I should go out to them while my breast is at peace." 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some wealth, so the Prophet ﷺ distributed it. Then I came across two men that were sitting saying: 'By Allah! Muhammad ﷺ did not intend the Face of Allah in his distribution, nor the abode of the Hereafter.' So I spread this when I heard them, and I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I informed him. So his face became red and he said: 'Do not bother me with this, for indeed Musa was afflicted by more than this and he was patient.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يُبَلِّغُنِي أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي شَيْئًا فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا سَلِيمُ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَالٍ فَقَسَمَهُ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ جَالِسَيْنِ وَهُمَا يَقُولاَنِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ مُحَمَّدٌ بِقِسْمَتِهِ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ فَتَثَبَّتُّ حِينَ سَمِعْتُهُمَا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ دَعْنِي عَنْكَ فَقَدْ أُوذِيَ مُوسَى بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took an oath, then a man from the Ansar said, "I do not desire this division for the sake of the face of Allah, the Mighty, the Glorious." Abdullah said, "O enemy of Allah, should I not inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what you said?" So, I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and his face turned red, and he said, "May the mercy of Allah be upon Musa, he was treated with more than this, yet he remained patient."

قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَسْمًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقِسْمَةَ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللهِ ﷻ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ أَمَا لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا قُلْتَ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once made an oath and said, "A man from the Ansar commented, 'This oath was made with the intention of seeking the Face of Allah, the Almighty.' I said, 'O enemy of Allah, should I inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what you have said?' He replied, 'Yes, tell him.' So I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ and his face turned red. He then said, 'May the mercy of Allah be upon Musa, for he was harmed more than this and still showed patience.'"

قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَسْمًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللهِ ﷻ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ أَمَا لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا قُلْتَ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى مُوسَى لَقَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ

[Machine] On the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ favored some people in distributing the spoils. He gave a hundred camels to Al-Aqra' ibn Habis and gave the same to 'Uyaynah ibn Hisn, and he favored some noble people from the Arab tribes. A man said, "By Allah, this distribution was not fair and I do not intend to please anyone with it except Allah." I said to myself, "I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this." So I went to him and informed him. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, and he said, "Who would rectify if Allah and His Messenger do not rectify?" Then he said, "May Allah have mercy on Musa; he was harmed much more than this, yet he remained patient." I said, "No doubt, I will never attempt to tell him anything after this."

«لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاسًا فِي الْقِسْمَةِ فَأَعْطَى الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ حِصْنٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وآثرَ نَاسًا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْعَرَبِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا عُدِلَ فِيهَا وَمَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْدِلِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ» فَقُلْتُ لَا جَرَمَ لَا أَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَهَا حَدِيثًا
