It is narrated from Zughb bin Fulan al-Azdi (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hawalah al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to stay with us, and I said to him: "News has reached me that two hundred (as a stipend) were fixed for you every year, but you refused to accept them?" He replied: "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us out around Madinah to gain spoils, but we came back without having gained anything. When he perceived our exhaustion and hardship, he made this supplication: O Allah, do not entrust them to me, for I would be too weak to provide for them; nor entrust them to themselves, for they would be helpless; nor leave them at the mercy of other people, for they would prefer themselves over them (and deprive them of their rights)."
