Sunan an-Nasai 4992 (Book 47, Hadith 8) #19524
Giving and Leaving Without Giving

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAW) gave some people a share of spoils of war, but not to others. He explained that he gives to some people and leaves those who are dearer to him without giving them anything, so they don't end up in Hell.

It was narrated from 'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas that his father said: "The Prophet SAW gave a share (of some spoils of war) to some men and not to others. Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allah SAW, you gave to so-and-so and so-and-so, but you did not give anything to so-and-so, and he is a believer'. The Prophet SAW said: 'Or a Muslim,' until Sa'd had repeated it three times, and the Prophet SAW said: 'I give to some men, and leave those who are dearer to me, without giving them anything, lest (the former) be thrown into Hell on their faces'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ - قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ رِجَالاً وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا قَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا وَلَمْ تُعْطِ فُلاَنًا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا سَعْدٌ ثَلاَثًا وَالنَّبِيُّ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنِّي لأُعْطِي رِجَالاً وَأَدَعُ مَنْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْهُمْ لاَ أُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُكَبُّوا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving and leaving without giving. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave some people a share of the spoils from war, but not to others. When Sa'd asked why he didn't give anything to certain believers, the Prophet ﷺ replied that he gives to some men and leaves those who are dearer to him without giving them anything so they don't end up in Hell on their faces. This teaches us that it is important for us as Muslims to be generous with our wealth by spending it on good causes such as charity or helping those in need, while also being mindful of our own needs and not overspending or going into debt unnecessarily. It also teaches us that we should be careful when distributing wealth among different groups or individuals; we should make sure that everyone gets their fair share according to their needs and merits rather than just randomly distributing it out of favoritism or bias towards certain individuals or groups.
