حَدَّثَنَا مُحمَّدُ بنُ عُبْدِ اللهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ ، إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُصَرِّفُهَا يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ ظَهْرٍ فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لَا ظَهْرَ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ زَادٍ فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لَا زَادَ لَهُ ، حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لَا حَقَّ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَّا فِي الْفَضْلِ " .
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said While we were traveling along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man came to him on his she camel, and began to drive her right and left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1663. Commentary:
➊ This man with the she-camel, who was making it turn around, perhaps the she-camel had become tired and was unable to walk further. This person adopted this approach so that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would see him and perhaps grant him some other favor.
➋ In situations of extreme necessity and hardship, delivering surplus wealth to those in need—as occurs during famine—is obligatory. In normal circumstances, it is recommended and encouraged. Based on such instructions, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (radi Allahu anhu) used to repeatedly admonish other Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) who were affluent and well-off, regarding the hoarding of wealth.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
From this hadith, it is understood that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would sometimes wake up early at night, and after completing the night prayer, he would have relations with his wife and then go back to sleep. Upon waking up quickly after the call to prayer (adhan) of Fajr, he would perform the ritual bath (ghusl) and then offer the Sunnah prayers of Fajr. The Sunnah prayers of Fajr were always performed before the obligatory Fajr prayer.
