Hadith of ‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit (RA)
حديث عبادة بن الصامت
Hadith 1012:110
Abdullah narrated to us, Yahya ibn Uthman Abu Zakariya al-Nasri al-Harbi narrated to us, Ismail ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from Abu Bakr ibn Abdullah, from Abu Salam, from al-Miqdam ibn Ma'di Karib al-Kindi, that he sat with Ubadah ibn al-Samit, Abu al-Darda, and al-Harith ibn Mu'awiyah al-Kindi, and they discussed the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Abu al-Darda said to Ubadah: "O Ubadah, [what were] the words of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in such-and-such expedition regarding the matter of the fifths?" Ubadah said—Ishaq, meaning Ibn Isa, said in his hadith—that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, led them in prayer during his expedition toward a camel from the spoils. When he finished the prayer, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood up and took a tuft of hair between his fingertips and said: "Indeed, this is from your spoils, and there is nothing for me in it except my share along with you, except for the fifth, and the fifth is returned to you. So, return the thread and the needle, and what is greater than that and what is smaller. Do not commit ghulul (stealing from the spoils of war), for ghulul is a fire and a shame upon its people in this world and the Hereafter. Strive against the people for the sake of Allah, the near and the far, and do not fear for the sake of Allah the blame of any blamer. Establish the prescribed punishments (hudud) of Allah while at home and while traveling, and strive in the way of Allah, for striving is a great door from the doors of Paradise, through which Allah saves [one] from worry and grief."
حدثنا عبد الله ، حدثنا يحيى بن عثمان أبو زكريا النصري الحربي، حدثنا إسماعيل بن عياش، عن أبي بكر بن عبد الله، عن أبي سلام، عن المقدام بن معدي كرب الكندي، أنه جلس مع عبادة بن الصامت، وأبي الدرداء، والحارث بن معاوية الكندي فتذاكروا حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: أبو الدرداء لعبادة: يا عبادة كلمات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة كذا في شأن الأخماس؟ فقال: عبادة، قال إسحاق يعني ابن عيسى في حديثه ، إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى بهم في غزوته إلى بعير من المقسم، فلما سلم قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فتناول وبرة بين أنملتيه فقال: " إن هذه من غنائمكم، وإنه ليس لي فيها إلا نصيبي معكم إلا الخمس، والخمس مردود عليكم، فأدوا الخيط والمخيط وأكبر من ذلك وأصغر، لا تغلوا؛ فإن الغلول نار وعار على أصحابه في الدنيا والآخرة، وجاهدوا الناس في الله القريب والبعيد، ولا تبالوا في الله لومة لائم، وأقيموا حدود الله في الحضر والسفر، وجاهدوا في سبيل الله؛ فإن الجهاد باب من أبواب الجنة عظيم ينجي الله به من الهم والغم "
