Differentiating between Early Emigrants

SUMMARY: Umar bin Al-Khattab fixed a lesser payment amount for his son than the other early Emigrants because he was taken along with him.

Nafi' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) fixed the payment amounting to four thousand Dirhams for each of the early Emigrants, but for his son, he fixed only three thousand five hundred. He was asked: "He is also an (early) Emigrant, why have you fixed a lesser sum for him?" He said: "It was his father who took him along with him. He is not like one who emigrated by himself". Al-Bukhari.
وعن نافع أن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه كان فرض للمهاجرين الأولين أربعة آلاف وفرض لابنه ثلاثة آلاف وخمسمائة، فقيل له‏:‏ هو من المهاجرين فلم نقصته‏؟‏ فقال‏:‏ إنما هاجر به أبوه، يقول‏:‏ ليس هو كمن هاجر بنفسه” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Recognize and respect differences in people's situations and experiences; Be fair and just when dealing with others; Treat everyone fairly regardless of their relationship to you.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of recognizing differences between people. Umar bin Al-Khattab was asked why he gave a lesser payment to his son than the other early emigrants and he responded that it was because his son did not emigrate by himself. This teaches us that we should recognize and respect differences in people's situations and experiences. We should not treat everyone the same way if their circumstances are different from one another. It is important to be fair and just when dealing with others, even if they are close to us like family members or friends.
