Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. Aban and his companions came to the Prophet ﷺ at Khaibar after the Prophet ﷺ had conquered it, and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Do not give them a share of the booty." on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange! You suggest such a thing though you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal (a lotus tree)! "On that the Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give them any share.
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَانَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَدِمَ أَبَانُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحَهَا وَإِنَّ حُزْمَ خَيْلِهِمْ لَلِيفٌ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لاَ تَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ قَالَ أَبَانُ وَأَنْتَ بِهَذَا يَا وَبْرُ تَحَدَّرَ مِنْ رَأْسِ ضَأْنٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَانُ اجْلِسْ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ
