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.

Explanation & Benefits
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:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Fadl:
That which is in excess of need,
Surplus.
(2)
Falya‘ud bihi:
He should do a favor to the one in need with it,
Express sympathy and goodwill.
Benefits and Issues:
A man came on a she-camel that was exhausted,
so he came before the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and began looking right and left, and the she-camel also turned right and left so that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) might arrange a ride for him.
Because of this, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) encouraged people to show sympathy and goodwill with surplus possessions. Some scholars have interpreted it to mean that he was turning the she-camel right and left out of pride and boasting, so that he could show off and indicate, “I have many mounts.” Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exhorted the companions to show goodwill and sympathy, so that he (the man) would do a favor to those in need with his surplus mounts.
