Hadith of ‘Awf bin Malik al-Ashja‘i al-Ansari (RA)

حديث عوف بن مالك الأشجعي الأنصاري

Hadith 1119:17

Abu al-Mughirah narrated to us, he said: Safwan narrated to us, he said: Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr narrated to us, from his father, from Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja‘i, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) received spoils (fay’), he would distribute them on the same day. He would give the one with a family two shares, and he would give the bachelor one share. We were called, and I was called before Ammar ibn Yasir. I was called, and he gave me two shares, for I had a family. Then he called after me Ammar ibn Yasir, and he was given one share. There remained a piece of a gold chain, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began to lift it with the tip of his staff, then he raised it while saying: "How will you be on a day when this becomes abundant for you?"

حدثنا أبو المغيرة قال: حدثنا صفوان قال: حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن جبير بن نفير، عن أبيه، عن عوف بن مالك الأشجعي قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا جاء فيء قسمه من يومه، فأعطى الآهل حظين، وأعطى العزب حظا واحدا. فدعينا وكنت أدعى قبل عمار بن ياسر، فدعيت، فأعطاني حظين، وكان لي أهل، ثم دعا بعد عمار بن ياسر فأعطي حظا واحدا، فبقيت قطعة سلسلة من ذهب، فجعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يرفعها بطرف عصاه، ثم رفعها وهو يقول: " كيف أنتم يوم يكثر لكم من هذا؟ "
