Sunan Abi Dawud 2723 (Book 15, Hadith 247) #23013
Asking for Share from Booty without Right

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent a group of people on an expedition and when they returned, they asked for a share from the booty. The Prophet (PBUH) did not give them any share.

Narrated Sa'id ibn al-'As: The Messenger of Allah sent AbuSa'id ibn al-'As with an expedition from Medina towards Najd. Aban ibn Sa'id and his companions came to the Messenger of Allah at Khaybar after it had been captured. The girths of their horses were made of palm fibres. Aban said: Give us a share (from the booty), Messenger of Allah. AbuHurayrah said: I said: Do not give them a share, Messenger of Allah. Aban said: Why are you talking so, Wabr. You have come to us from the peak of Dal. The Prophet said: Sit down, Aban. The Messenger of Allah did not give any share to them (from the booty).
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعَثَ أَبَانَ بْنَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَقَدِمَ أَبَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَتَحَهَا وَإِنَّ حُزُمَ خَيْلِهِمْ لِيفٌ فَقَالَ أَبَانُ اقْسِمْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ لاَ تَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبَانُ أَنْتَ بِهَا يَا وَبْرُ تَحَدَّرُ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَأْسِ ضَالٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ اجْلِسْ يَا أَبَانُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of not asking for something that one does not have the right to ask for. In this hadith, it is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent a group of people on an expedition and when they returned, they asked for a share from the booty. However, AbuHurayrah advised against giving them any share as they did not have any right to it. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then told Aban to sit down and he did not give them any share from the booty. This teaches us that we should never ask or demand something which we do not have a right to ask or demand in Islam as it is considered wrong in Islam. We should also be content with what Allah has given us instead of asking or demanding more than what we are entitled to receive according to Islamic teachings.
