Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36095 — Reports on Tustar

Kulayb al-Jarmi said: When we besieged the region called Tawwaj, our command was in the hands of Mujashi' bin Mas'ud of Banu Sulaym. When we conquered Tawwaj, I was wearing an old shirt. I went to one of the slain non-Arabs, took off his shirt, washed it, cleaned it, put it on and entered the settlement. In the settlement I took a needle and thread and sewed my own shirt. After that Sayyiduna Mujashi' (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the fighters and said: "O people, do not commit any misappropriation of the spoils. Whoever misappropriates will have to answer for that misappropriation on the Day of Resurrection, even if it is only a needle." Then I took off that shirt and tore open again the part of my own shirt that I had sewn with that thread. Then I put that shirt, the needle and the thread back where I had taken them from. Then in my lifetime I saw the time when people would misappropriate whole wasqs, and if they were asked, "What are you doing?", they would say, "Our share of the spoils is more than this."
