- " يا معشر المهاجرين والأنصار إن من إخوانكم قوما ليس لهم مال ولا عشيرة، فليضم أحدكم إليه الرجلين أو الثلاثة ".
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to go on a military expedition and said: "O Muhajirun and Ansar! Some of your brothers have neither wealth nor relatives with them. Some of you should take two or three of them along with yourselves." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: None of us had a mount of our own; rather, just as it was their turn, so too did we have a turn to ride. I took two or three individuals along with me. He says: Just as it was their turn, so too did I have a turn to ride my camel (that is, the camel was mine, but everyone’s turns were equal).
