Excellence of Generosity and Spending in a Good cause with Reliance on Allah
وَعَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ أنه قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَسِيرُ مَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقْفَلَهُ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ، فَعَلِقَهُ الأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ، حَتَّى اضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى سَمُرَةٍ، فَخَطِفَتْ رِدَاءَهُ، فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: “أعطونى ردائى، فَلَوْ كَانَ لى عَدَدُ هَذِهِ العضاة نَعَمًا، لَقَسَمْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ، ثُمَّ لاَ تجدونى بَخِيلاً وَلاَ كذاباً ولا جباناً ((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Jubair bin Mut'im (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: While I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) on his return from the battle of Hunain, a few bedouins caught hold of him and began to demand their shares. They forced him to a tree and someone snatched away his cloak (which got entangled in that thorny tree). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Give my cloak back to me. Were I to have camels equal to the number of these trees, I would have distributed them all among you, and you would not have found me a miser, or a liar, or a coward." [Al-Bukhari].
