Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5133 — at the Battle of Hunayn the Messenger of Allah
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْغَنِيمَةِ ، فَأَعْطَى الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، وَأَعْطَى نَاسًا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْعَرَبِ ، وَآثَرَهُمْ فِي الْقِسْمَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : وَاللهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا عُدِلَ فِيهَا ، وَمَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللهِ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : وَاللهِ لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ ، قَالَ : فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَانَ كَالصِّرْفِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْدِلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مُوسَى ، لَقَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا جَرَمَ ، لَا أَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ هَذَا شَيْئًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the Battle of Hunayn the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave some people preference over others in the distribution of the spoils (to win their hearts). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Sayyiduna Aqra' bin Habis (may Allah be pleased with him) a hundred camels, and likewise gave Sayyiduna Uyaynah (may Allah be pleased with him) the same number, and he also favoured some other nobles of the Arabs and gave them precedence in that distribution. At this a man said: "By Allah! This is a distribution in which justice has not been observed, nor has the pleasure of Allah been sought in it." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said (to myself): "By Allah! I will certainly inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of this." So I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) what the man had said. On hearing this, the colour of his blessed face changed until it became like deep red dye. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the Messenger of Allah does not act justly, then who will act justly?" And he further said: "May Allah have mercy on Musa (peace be upon him); he was harmed with more than this, yet he was patient." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: (Seeing this situation) I said: "Certainly, after this incident I will never convey any such thing to him (peace and blessings be upon him) again."
