Musnad Ahmad

Aamir bin Sa’d narrates that once Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding his mount and heading towards his palace in the valley of ‘Aqiq. When he arrived there, he saw a slave cutting down a tree. He seized all the wood and other things (that the slave had cut). When Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, the owners of the slave came to him and asked him to return what he had taken from the slave. He said, “Should I return what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given me? Allah’s refuge!” And with this, he refused to return those things. Benefit: Its explanation is coming soon in Hadith number 1460.
