Sunan Abi Dawud 1663 (Book 9, Hadith 108) #21955
Generosity and Sharing Resources

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to be generous and share our resources with those who are in need.

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said While we were traveling along with the Messenger of Allah a man came to him on his she camel, and began to drive her right and left. The Messenger of Allah said he who has a spare riding beast should give it to him who has no riding beast; and he who has surplus equipment should give it to who has no equipment. We thought that none of us had a right in surplus property.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي سَفَرٍ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَصْرِفُهَا يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ ظَهْرٍ فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لاَ ظَهْرَ لَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ زَادٍ فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لاَ زَادَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لاَ حَقَّ لأَحَدٍ مِنَّا فِي الْفَضْلِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of generosity and sharing resources. It was narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri who said that while they were traveling with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a man came to him on his she camel, and began to drive her right and left. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then said that whoever has a spare riding beast should give it to him who has no riding beast; and he who has surplus equipment should give it to him who has no equipment. This teaches us that we should be generous with our resources even if we don't have much ourselves because Allah will reward us for our good deeds. We can also learn from this hadith that we should help those in need whenever possible as this is an act of kindness which will bring blessings from Allah upon us.
