Sunan Abi Dawud 2706 (Book 15, Hadith 230) #22996
Eating a Camel on an Expedition

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the companions of the Prophet ﷺ eating a camel on an expedition and returning with their saddle-bags full of its flesh.

Narrated One of the Companion: Al-Qasim, the client of AbdurRahman, quoted one of the Companion of the Prophet as saying: We would eat a camel on an expedition without dividing it, and when we returned to our dwellings our saddle-bags would be full with its flesh.
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ حَرْشَفٍ الأَزْدِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ، أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا نَأْكُلُ الْجَزْرَ فِي الْغَزْوِ وَلاَ نَقْسِمُهُ حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَرْجِعُ إِلَى رِحَالِنَا وَأَخْرِجَتُنَا مِنْهُ مُمْلاَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the generosity and abundance that was experienced by the companions of Prophet Muhammad during their expeditions. It highlights how they were able to eat a whole camel without having to divide it among them, and still have enough left over that they could fill their saddle bags with its flesh when they returned home. This speaks to how much Allah blessed them in terms of sustenance during these journeys. It also serves as an example for us today in terms of being content with what we have been given and trusting that Allah will provide for us if we are patient and grateful.
