باب فِي سخَائِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَChapter: ….
وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : " غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، غَزْوَةَ الْفَتْحِ ، فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَاقْتَتَلُوا بِحُنَيْنٍ ، فَنَصَرَ اللَّهُ دِينَهُ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَوْمَئِذٍ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ مِائَةً مِنَ النَّعَمِ ، ثُمَّ مِائَةً ، ثُمَّ مِائَةً " . قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ ، قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا أَعْطَانِي ، وَإِنَّهُ لَأَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ ، فَمَا بَرِحَ يُعْطِينِي ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ .
Ibn Shihab reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went on the expedition of Victory, i. e. the Victory of Makkah, and then he went out along with the Muslims and they fought at Hunain, and Allah granted victory to his religion and to the Muslims, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave one hundred camels to Safwan bin Umayya. He again gave him one hundred camels, and then again gave him one hundred camels. Sa'id bin Musayyib said that Safwan told him: (By Allah) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave me what he gave me (and my state of mind at that time was) that he was the most detested person amongst people in my eyes. But he continued giving to me until now he is the dearest of people to me.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
Safwan bin Umayyah was a polytheist at the time of the Battle of Hunayn and, due to the conquest of Makkah, was a staunch opponent of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). However, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), in order to win his heart and in the interest of Islam and the Muslims, gave him so much from the spoils of Hunayn that he was compelled to accept Islam, because he realized that no worldly leader or chief other than a Prophet could do such a thing.
