Sahih al-Bukhari 3148 (Book 57, Hadith 56) #3010
Generosity and Bravery of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was generous and brave, and he promised to give away his possessions if he had them.

Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im: That while he was with Allah's Messenger who was accompanied by the people on their way back from Hunain, the bedouins started begging things of Allah's Messenger so much so that they forced him to go under a Samura tree where his loose outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah's Messenger stood up and said to them, "Return my garment to me. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأُوَيْسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ، أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ مُقْبِلاً مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ عَلِقَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ حَتَّى اضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى سَمُرَةٍ، فَخَطِفَتْ رِدَاءَهُ، فَوَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَعْطُونِي رِدَائِي، فَلَوْ كَانَ عَدَدُ هَذِهِ الْعِضَاهِ نَعَمًا لَقَسَمْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ، ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُونِي بَخِيلاً وَلاَ كَذُوبًا وَلاَ جَبَانًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the generosity and bravery of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. It is narrated by Jubair bin Mut'im that while they were on their way back from Hunain, the bedouins started begging things from Allah's Messenger ﷺ so much so that they forced him to go under a Samura tree where his loose outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah's Messenger ﷺ stood up and said to them, "Return my garment to me. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward". This shows us how generous Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was even though he did not have much himself. He also showed us how brave he was in standing up for himself against those who tried to take advantage of him. We can learn from this hadith that we should always be generous with what we have no matter how little it may be, and we should always stand up for ourselves when faced with injustice or unfairness.
