Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from his father, from his grandfather (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both)), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, until when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached al-Ji'ranah, the people gathered around him (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) cloak got caught on a tree. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give me back my cloak. Do you fear that I will not distribute (the wealth) among you? Even if there were livestock as many as the trees of Tihamah, I would distribute them among you, and then you would not find me cowardly, nor stingy, nor a liar."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return even the needle and the thread, for stealing from the spoils of war will be a disgrace, fire and shame for the one who commits it on the Day of Resurrection."
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My share of this fay' (wealth gained without fighting) is not even equal to this hair (and he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a hair from the shoulder (hump) of a camel and showed it), except the fifth (khums), and even that fifth is returned to you."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sallam Abu al-Mundhir except Uthman bin Makhlad, and his son (Muhammad bin Uthman) is alone in narrating it from him."
