اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "إِنَّ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ إِذَا أَرْمَلُوا فِي الْغَزْوِ أَوْ قَلَّ طَعَامُ عِيَالِهِمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ جَمَعُوا مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ، ثُمَّ اقْتَسَمُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ ، فَهُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ " .
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "When the people of Ash`ari tribe ran short of food during the holy battles, or the food of their families in Medina ran short, they would collect all their remaining food in one sheet and then distribute it among themselves equally by measuring it with a bowl. So, these people are from me, and I am from them."

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Gathering food supplies together and distributing them by estimation is not exclusive to travel; rather, this action can also be done in residence, as is mentioned regarding the practice of the people of the Ash‘ari tribe: whenever they were in need, whatever food and drink supplies they had, they would combine them and distribute them equally.
This is the best type of partnership.
In times of difficulty, this can be done, and there is no need to be particular about any increase or decrease, such as if one person contributed less but received more in the distribution.
