Jubair bin Mutʿim told me that while he was in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the people returning from Hunain, some people (bedouins) caught hold of the Prophet ﷺ and started begging of him so much so that he had to stand under a (kind of thorny tree (i.e. Samurah) and his cloak was snatched away. The Prophet ﷺ stopped and said, "Give me my cloak. If I had as many camels as these thorny trees, I would have distributed them amongst you and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2821)
أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ مَقْفَلَهُ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ عَلِقَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَهُ حَتَّى اضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى سَمُرَةَ فَخَطِفَتْ رِدَاءَهُ فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَعْطُونِي رِدَائِي لَوْ كَانَ عَدَدُ هَذِهِ الْعِضَاهِ نَعَمًا لَقَسَّمْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُونِي بَخِيلًا وَلَا كَذُوبًا وَلَا جَبَانًا»
