Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Said from
Amr ibn Shuayb that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came back from Hunayn heading for al-Jiirrana,
the people crowded around so much to question him that his she-camel
backed into a tree, which became entangled in his cloak and pulled it
off his back. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Return my cloak to me. Are you afraid that I will
not distribute among you what Allah has given you as spoils. By He in
whose hand my self is! Had Allah given you spoils equal to the number
of acacia trees on the plain of Tihama, I would have distributed it
among you. You will not find me to be miserly, cowardly, or a liar."
Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
got down and stood among the people, and said, "Hand over even the
needle and thread, for stealing from the spoils is disgrace, fire,
ignominy on the Day of Rising for people who do it." Then he took a
bit of camel fluff or something from the ground and said, "By He in
whose hand my self is! What Allah has made spoils for you is not mine
- even the like of this! - except for the tax of one fifth, and the
tax of one fifth is returned to you."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 24
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He
told me to say, "Allahumma inni zalumtu nafsi zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfiru dh-dhunuba illa anta,
fa ghfir li maghfiratan min `indika, wa r-hamni, innaka anta l-ghafuru r-rahim (O Allah! I have done
great injustice to myself and none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness from You,
and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the Merciful).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 227
