Sunan Abi Dawud 2734 (Book 15, Hadith 258) #23024
Generosity and Fairness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was generous and fair in his distribution of resources, even when it came to his own horse.

Narrated AbuUmrah (al-Ansari?): We four persons, came to the Messenger of Allah , and we (ie each one of us) had horses. He therefore, allotted one portion for each of us, and two portions for his horse.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْبَعَةَ نَفَرٍ وَمَعَنَا فَرَسٌ فَأَعْطَى كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَّا سَهْمًا وَأَعْطَى لِلْفَرَسِ سَهْمَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the generosity and fairness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated by AbuUmrah al-Ansari that four people came to the Messenger of Allah with horses, and he allotted one portion for each person as well as two portions for his own horse. This shows that even when it came to himself, he was generous and fair in distributing resources among those who needed them. He did not prioritize himself over others or take more than what was necessary for him. This teaches us an important lesson about being generous with our resources, no matter how little we have, so that everyone can benefit from them equally.
