Sharing Resources in Times of Need

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad and his companions shared a camel and cow among themselves while on a journey.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah on a journey, when the Day of Sacrifice came, so we shared a camel among ten men, and a cow among seven".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ وَاقِدٍ - عَنْ عِلْبَاءَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي سَفَرٍ فَحَضَرَ النَّحْرُ فَاشْتَرَكْنَا فِي الْبَعِيرِ عَنْ عَشْرَةٍ وَالْبَقَرَةِ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ
