Sunan an-Nasai 4145 (Book 38, Hadith 13) #18678
The Prophet's Share and Choice

SUMMARY: The Prophet's share of the spoils was equal to that of any other Muslim, and he chose something precious for himself.

It was narrated that Mutarrif said: "Ash-Shabi was asked about the share of the Prophet and what he chose for himself. He said: 'The share of the Prophet was like the share of any Muslim man, and what he chose for himself was something precious; he chose whatever he wanted to"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ سُئِلَ الشَّعْبِيُّ عَنْ سَهْمِ النَّبِيِّ، وَصَفِيِّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا سَهْمُ النَّبِيِّ فَكَسَهْمِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَمَّا سَهْمُ الصَّفِيِّ فَغُرَّةٌ تُخْتَارُ مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ شَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the share of the Prophet in spoils and what he chose for himself. It is narrated by Mutarrif that Ash-Shabi was asked about this matter. He said that the share of the Prophet was like any other Muslim man, but what he chose for himself was something precious. This hadith teaches us a valuable lesson; it shows us how humble and generous our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺwas. He did not take more than his fair share, even though he could have taken whatever he wanted as a leader of his people. Instead, he showed us an example of selflessness and humility by taking only what was due to him as a regular person in society.
