Silsilah as-Sahihah 2138 — Altruism of the Ash‘ari people

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, during a battle, when some of the Ash‘ari people run short of provisions, or when the food of their families in Madinah becomes scarce, whatever anyone has, they gather it all together in a cloth, then they distribute it equally among themselves with the help of a vessel. These people are from me and I am from them."
