Sahih al-Bukhari 3163 (Book 58, Hadith 6) #3023
Patience and Equality in Giving

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked by the Ansar to give them part of the land of Bahrain, and he agreed to do so if Allah wished. He also told them that they should be patient if others were given preference over them in this respect.

Narrated Yahya bin Sa'id: Once the Prophet called the Ansar in order to grant them part of the land of Bahrain. On that they said, "No! By Allah, we will not accept it unless you grant a similar thing to our Quarries brothers as well". He said, "That will be their's if Allah wishes". But when the Ansar persisted in their request, he said, "After me you will see others given preference over you in this respect (in which case) you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Al-Kauthar).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ الأَنْصَارَ لِيَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ بِالْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالُوا لاَ وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَكْتُبَ لإِخْوَانِنَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بِمِثْلِهَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ لَهُمْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي ‏عَلَى الْحَوْضِ"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of patience and equality when giving out resources or rewards. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked by the Ansar to give them part of the land of Bahrain, and he agreed to do so if Allah wished. He also told them that they should be patient if others were given preference over them in this respect. This teaches us that we must always strive for equality when distributing resources or rewards, but at the same time we must remain patient even if we are not given what we want right away. We must remember that Allah knows best and will provide us with what is best for us in due time. Additionally, it teaches us about patience - even when things don't go our way, we must remain steadfast in our faith and trust that Allah will provide for us eventually.
