Generosity in Booty Distribution

SUMMARY: The Prophet sent a detachment to Najd and they gained a large number of camels as booty. Each person was given 12 camels and an additional one, which the Prophet did not change.

Nafi’ reported on the authority of 'Abd Allaah bin 'Umar "The Apostle of Allaah sent a detachment towards Najd'.Abd Allaah bin 'Umar also accompanied it. They gained a large number of Camels as a booty. Their portion was twelve Camels each and they were rewarded (in addition) one Camel each. The version of Ibn Mawhab added "The Apostle of Allaah did not change it"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، - الْمَعْنَى - عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فِيهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَغَنِمُوا إِبِلاً كَثِيرَةً فَكَانَتْ سُهْمَانُهُمُ اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا وَنُفِّلُوا بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا ‏.‏ زَادَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ فَلَمْ يُغَيِّرْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous with what you have so that everyone can benefit from it equally

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the generosity of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when it came to distributing booty among his companions. When they went out on a mission, they were able to gain a large number of camels as booty. The Prophet ﷺ gave each person twelve camels and an additional one, which he did not change or take away from them. This shows us that even though he was in charge, he was generous with what he had and wanted to make sure everyone got their fair share. He also showed us that we should be generous with what we have so that everyone can benefit from it equally.

This hadith teaches us many values such as generosity, fairness, justice and kindness towards others. It is important for us to remember these values when dealing with our own possessions or resources so that we can be just like the Prophet ﷺ in our dealings with others.
