It is reported about Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he informed Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about the man who had asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a rope before the spoils of war were divided, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave it until it is divided (or: until we divide it). Then, if you wish, we will give you a rope, and if you wish, we will give you ropes."
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator who is not named.
