Equality in Distribution of Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) distributed the Khumus of Hunain to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf, and when Uthman bin 'Affan and Jubair bin Mut'im asked why they were not given anything, the Prophet said that he saw Hashim and Al-Muttalib as being the same.

Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab narrated that Jubair bin Mut'im told him: "He and 'Uthman bin 'Affan came to the Messenger of Allah to speak to him about what he had distributed of the Khumus of Hunain to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you distributed it to our brothers; Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf, and you did not give us anything, and our relationship to you in the same as theirs'.The Messenger of Allah said to them: 'I see that Hashim and Al-Muttalib are the same". Jubair bin Mut'im said: "The Messenger of Allah did not allocate anything to Banu 'Abd Shams or Banu Nawfal from that Khumus, as he allocated to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ جُبَيْرَ بْنَ مُطْعِمٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، جَاءَ هُوَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُكَلِّمَانِهِ فِيمَا قَسَمَ مِنْ خُمُسِ حُنَيْنٍ بَيْنَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ فَقَالاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَسَمْتَ لإِخْوَانِنَا بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَلَمْ تُعْطِنَا شَيْئًا وَقَرَابَتُنَا مِثْلُ قَرَابَتِهِمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا أَرَى هَاشِمًا وَالْمُطَّلِبَ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَلاَ لِبَنِي نَوْفَلٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْخُمُسِ شَيْئًا كَمَا قَسَمَ لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ

Treat everyone equally regardless of their relationship with you or social status .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ distributed wealth among his people. He gave some of it to Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf, but when Uthman bin 'Affan and Jubair bin Mut'im asked why they were not given anything, he said that he saw them as being equal. This teaches us that we should be fair in our distribution of wealth; we should not favor one group over another just because they are related to us or have a closer relationship with us than others do. We should treat everyone equally regardless of their relationship with us or their social status. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about justice; it is important for all people to be treated fairly regardless of who they are or what their background is.
