Equivalence of Sheep and Camel in Spoils of War

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to make ten sheep equivalent to one camel when distributing the spoils of war.

It was narrated that Rafi bin Khadij Said: "When distributing the spoils of war, the Messenger of Allah used to make ten sheep equivalent to one camel". Shu'bah said: "I know most if it from what I heard form Sa'eed bin Masruq, and Sufyan narrated it to me". (Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَجْعَلُ فِي قَسْمِ الْغَنَائِمِ عَشْرًا مِنَ الشَّاءِ بِبَعِيرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ سُفْيَانُ عَنْهُ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for fairness & justice in dealings with others
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of fairness and justice when it comes to distributing the spoils of war. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his fairness and justice, so he made sure that everyone got their fair share. He set a standard by making ten sheep equivalent to one camel when dividing up the spoils among his followers. This shows that even though some animals may be worth more than others, they should all be treated equally in terms of value. It also teaches us that we should always strive for fairness in our dealings with others, no matter what situation we are in or what resources are available.
