Hadith 2583

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرَ عُرْوَةُ ، أَنَّ الْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، وَمَرْوَانَ أَخْبَرَاهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، " فَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ جَاءُونَا تَائِبِينَ ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ سَبْيَهُمْ ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطَيِّبَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى حَظِّهِ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا يُفِيءُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا " ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : طَيَّبْنَا لَكَ .
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan: When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet he stood up amongst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and said, "Then after: Your brethren have come to you with repentance and I see it logical to return to them their captives; so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you like to stick to his share till we give him his right from the very first Fai (war booty) (1) which Allah will bestow on us, then (he can do so)." The people replied, "We do that (to return the captives) willingly as a favor for your sake."

Hadith Commentary:
The kunya of Miswar bin Makhramah radi Allahu anhu is Abu Abdur Rahman; he was from the Zuhri and Qurayshi tribes.
He was the nephew of Abdur Rahman bin Awf radi Allahu anhu.
He was born in Makkah two years after the Hijrah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He arrived in Madinah Munawwarah in Dhu al-Hijjah, 8 AH.
At the time of the Prophet’s sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passing, his age was only eight years.
He listened to hadith from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and memorized them.
He was a great jurist (faqih), a person of virtue, and devoutly religious.
He resided in Madinah until the martyrdom of Uthman radi Allahu anhu.
After the martyrdom, he moved to Makkah and remained there until the death of Muawiyah radi Allahu anhu.
He did not approve of pledging allegiance (bay‘ah) to Yazid.
However, he still remained in Makkah until Yazid sent an army and besieged Makkah.
At that time, Ibn Zubair radi Allahu anhu was also present in Makkah.
During this siege, Miswar bin Makhramah radi Allahu anhu was struck by a stone that was hurled by a catapult (manjaniq).
At that moment, he was performing prayer (salah).
He was martyred by that stone.
This incident occurred on the night of the new moon of Rabi‘ al-Awwal, 64 AH.
Many people have narrated from him.

Hadith Commentary:
According to this narration, the matter of future war booty (mal-e-ghanīmah) was ambiguous, as if it was absent, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) granted the future wealth as a gift (hibah).
There was nothing present in it.
From this, it is understood that if something is known and its acquisition is possible, then an absent thing can be given as a gift (hibah).
