Iraq narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah Munawwarah with members of his tribe. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Khaybar at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed Sayyiduna Siba’ bin ‘Arfatah as his deputy in Madinah Munawwarah. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I reached Sayyiduna Siba’ (may Allah be pleased with him) and he was reciting {کہیعص} in the first rak’ah of the morning prayer and Surah Mutaffifin in the second rak’ah. I said in my heart: Woe and destruction to that person who, when he takes for himself, takes in full measure, and when he gives to others, gives less measure. When he finished the prayer, he gave us some provisions, until we reached Khaybar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to the noble companions and included us in the spoils of war.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Observe the eagerness of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu to meet and behold the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that he could not remain in Madinah Munawwarah waiting for the return of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but instead undertook a long journey and reached Khaybar.
