[Machine] We sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ around the city on foot so that we may plunder, but we returned without gaining anything. Our exhaustion was evident on our faces, so a speaker arose among us and said, "O Allah, do not leave them dependent on me, for I am weak towards them. Do not leave them dependent on themselves, as they may become incapable. Also, do not leave them dependent on people, for then they will have an advantage over them." (Sahih Hadith)  

الحاكم:٨٣٠٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ زُغْبٍ الِإِيَادِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَوَالَةَ الْأَزْدِيِّ فَقَالَ لِي وَإِنَّهُ لَنَازِلٌ عَلَيَّ فِي بَيْتِي لَا أُمَّ لَكَ أَمَا يَكْفِي ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ مِائَةٌ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا لِنَغْنَمَ فَرَجَعْنَا وَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ وَعُرِفَ الْجَهْدُ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَأَضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ» صحيح

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on foot to get spoil, but we returned without getting any. When he saw the signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you see the caliphate has settled in the holy land, earthquakes, sorrows and serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head. Abu Dawud said: 'Abd Allah b. Hawalah belongs to Hims.

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِنَغْنَمَ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا فَرَجَعْنَا فَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ شَيْئًا وَعَرَفَ الْجُهْدَ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فِينَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَىَّ فَأَضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ وَلاَ تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا وَلاَ تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى هَامَتِي ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْخِلاَفَةَ قَدْ نَزَلَتْ أَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ فَقَدْ دَنَتِ الزَّلاَزِلُ وَالْبَلاَبِلُ وَالأُمُورُ الْعِظَامُ وَالسَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ يَدِي هَذِهِ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ

"اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلهُمْ إِليَّ فَأضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ، وَلَا تَكِلهُمْ إِلَى أنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجزُوا عَنْهَا، وَلَا تَكِلهُم إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأثِرُوا عَلَيهمْ، وَلَكِنْ تَوَحَّدْ بأرْزَاقِهِمْ".
