Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of some hair from the side of a camel from the war booty and said: “My share in this wealth is the same as that of any one of you. Beware of dishonesty, for dishonesty will be a cause of disgrace for the dishonest person on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, return even a needle, thread, or anything of lesser value, whether you are traveling or at home, whether it belongs to a relative or a non-relative—strive in the way of Allah. (Remember that) Jihad is a door from the doors of Paradise; it delivers the Mujahid from grief, sorrow, and distress. Establish the limits of Allah among relatives and non-relatives alike, and let not the blame of any blamer concerning Allah affect you.”
