حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ آثَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- نَاسًا فِى الْقِسْمَةِ فَأَعْطَى الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عُيَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَأَعْطَى أُنَاسًا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْعَرَبِ وَآثَرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى الْقِسْمَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا عُدِلَ فِيهَا وَمَا أُرِيدَ فِيهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ - قَالَ - فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَانَ كَالصِّرْفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْدِلِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ « يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مُوسَى قَدْ أُوذِىَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ جَرَمَ لاَ أَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَهَا حَدِيثًا.

It was narrated from Abdullah said: ‘On the day of (battle of) Hunain, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) showed preference to some people in distributing (the spoils of the war). He gave one hundred camels to Al-Aqra’ bin Habis, and similar amount to Uyaynah, and he gave to some prominent people among the Arabs, and he showed preference to them in giving on that day. A man said: ‘By Allah, there is no justice in this division of the spoils of the war, it has not been done for the Face of Allah! I said: ‘By Allah! I am going to tell the Messenger of Allah (SAW).’ So I went to him and told him what (that man) had said. His face changed until it looked like blood, then he said: ‘Who will be just if Allah and His Messenger are not just?’ then he said: ‘May Allah have mercy on Musa, for he troubled with more than this and he remained patient.’’ I said: ‘I will not tell him of anything that people say after this.’
