Deception No. 12_ the Companions’ Bad Behavior Towards the Prophet, May God Bless Him and Grant Him
Sahih Al-Bukhari - The Imposition of the Fifth - What the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to give to those whose hearts were to be reconciled - Hadith No.: 2917
Abdullah said: When the day of Hunayn came, the Prophet favored some people in the division, so he gave Al-Aqra’ bin Habis one hundred camels and gave Uyaynah the same amount, and he gave some of the nobles of the Arabs, and he favored them that day in the division. A man said: By God, this division was not just and was not intended for the sake of God. I said: By God, I will tell the Prophet. So I went to him and told him, and he said: Who will be just if God and His Messenger are not just? May God have mercy on Moses, he was harmed more than this and he was patient.
Sahih Al-Bukhari - The imposition of the fifth - What was the Prophet, peace be upon him… - Hadith No.: 2917
On the authority of Abu Wa’il, on the authority of Abdullah, may God be pleased with him, he said: When the day of Hunayn came, the Prophet favored some people. He gave al-Aqra’ a hundred camels, and he gave Uyaynah the same amount, and he gave some people. A man said: I do not seek God’s face with this division. I said: I will tell the Prophet. He said: May God have mercy on Moses, he was harmed more than this and he was patient!
First: I do not know whether it is a defect in the tall palm tree that some of its dates are spoiled, despite the abundance of good dates it has produced? Or is it that the deceiver hated himself because of his hatred of the truth, until he came to see praise as blame and blame as praise?
Second: A man, or rather, if you will, a tribe of rough Arabs who were accustomed to the roughness of the desert and the harshness of the desert until God sent to them a civilized prophet from the ancient Arab cities. They saw in him signs of prophethood, but it is natural that there were among them those who harbored in their hearts that they did not want to oppose their people, so they declared their Islam with them, and began to deal with the prophet as they would deal with the sheikh of their tribe or the commander of the army. Despite the fact that he was given a lot of spoils and goodness, he was not satisfied and uttered these words. His matter was brought to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, by pure companions who rejected his words , so he taught them that he had in his brothers from the prophets a good example to be patient as they were patient. The people of Moses, peace be upon him, asked Moses for something greater than that, and they said: ” Show us God openly” (Surat An-Nisa, verse 153 ).
Third: The forger himself transmitted - without realizing it - one of the narrations he mentioned which he thought would extinguish the sun, but it was the sun itself. He spoke about the enthusiastic youth who thought that fighting was only strength and courage, so the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - taught them that fighting in Islam is an exceptional case in which the goal is to protect the call, repel harm from the religion, and bring hearts together, and not out of a love for the extermination of the people of the countries they enter.
Fourth: To establish this principle, the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - gave money to people who had recently entered Islam - that is, those who had recently converted from disbelief - as mentioned in the hadith, with the aim of bringing their hearts together. As for those whose beliefs were firmly rooted in Islam and faith, they were satisfied with their victory by returning with the Prophet instead of money… They said, O Messenger of God, we are satisfied, as mentioned in the hadith.
