Sahih al-Bukhari 2719 (Book 54, Hadith 8) #2600
Sharing Date-Palms with Emigrants

SUMMARY: The Ansar offered to share their date-palms with the emigrants, but the Prophet refused and instead suggested that the emigrants do the labor in exchange for a share of the fruits.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Ansar said to the Prophet, "Divide our date-palms between us and our emigrant brothers". The Prophet said, "No". The Ansar said to the emigrants, "You may do the labor (in our gardens) and we will share the fruits with you". The emigrants said, "We hear and obey".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ لِلنَّبِيِّ اقْسِمْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَانِنَا النَّخِيلَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ تَكْفُونَا الْمَئُونَةَ وَنُشْرِكُكُمْ فِي الثَّمَرَةِ‏.‏ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Ansar, who were people living in Medina, offered to share their date palms with their emigrant brothers. The Prophet Muhammad refused this offer and instead suggested that they do labor in exchange for a share of the fruits. This teaches us that it is important to be generous and kind towards others, even if it means sacrificing something of our own. It also shows us that we should not expect something from someone without offering anything in return; rather we should be willing to work hard for what we want or need. Furthermore, this hadith emphasizes how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than us and show them kindness and compassion.
