وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُخْبِرُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَانَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : فَقَدِمَ أَبَانُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحَهَا ، وَإِنَّ حُزْمَ خَيْلِهِمْ لَلِيفٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَا تَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ ، قَالَ أَبَانُ : وَأَنْتَ بِهَذَا يَا وَبْرُ تَحَدَّرَ مِنْ رَأْسِ ضَأْنٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا أَبَانُ اجْلِسْ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. Aban and his companions came to the Prophet at Khaibar after the Prophet had conquered it, and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do not give them a share of the booty." on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange! You suggest such a thing though you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal (a lotus tree)! "On that the Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give them any share.

Hadith Commentary:
Ibn Qawqal (radi Allahu anhu) was a Companion. Aban bin Sa'id (radi Allahu anhu) had not yet embraced Islam, and it was in this state that he killed Ibn Qawqal (radi Allahu anhu) as a martyr.
The reference of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) was towards this incident, but Aban bin Sa'id (radi Allahu anhu) did not like this remark and criticized him personally for it.
(May Allah forgive them all.)
"Warb" is an animal equal in size to a cat.
"Dan" is the name of the mountain which was in the land of Daws, the homeland of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu). In some manuscripts, after the words "falam yuqsim lahum," there are additional words: "qala Abu Abdillah al-dhal al-sidr," meaning Imam Bukhari said "dhal" refers to the wild lote tree (sidr).
This explanation is based on those manuscripts in which, instead of "Ra's Dan," it is written "Ra's Dhal."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) after the conquest of Khaybar and requested something from the spoils of war. Upon this, Aban (radi Allahu anhu), the son of Sa'id ibn al-As (radi Allahu anhu), said:
"Do not give him anything from the spoils of war because he did not participate in the battle of Khaybar."
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) submitted:
"O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! He is the killer of Ibn Qawqal, and he is not worthy that his statement be listened to attentively or acted upon."
➋
Since Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) was of short stature, he (Aban radi Allahu anhu) likened Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) to the back (dubr) as a form of disparagement and mocked him.
➌
It should be noted that Ibn Qawqal (radi Allahu anhu) was martyred by Aban (radi Allahu anhu) in the Battle of Uhud, while he (Aban) had not yet embraced Islam.
He accepted Islam before the Battle of Khaybar, and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had sent him on a mission.
The intent of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) was that such a killer should not be given a share from the spoils of war.
