وعن أبي سعيد الخدري، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏

بينما نحن في سفر إذ جاء رجل علي راحلة له، فجعل يصرف بصره يميناً وشمالاً، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏

‏‏من كان معه فضل ظهر؛ فليعد به علي من لا ظهر له، ومن كان له فضل زاد فليعد به علي من لا زاد له‏”‏ فذكر من أصناف المال ما ذكره، حتي رأينا‏:‏ أنه لا حق لأحد منا في فضل‏”‏

‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏، ١٧٢٨)‏‏)‏‏.‏”

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

While we were travelling with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a rider came and began to stare on the right and on the left. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

“He who has an extra mount should hand it over to one who has none, and he who possesses surplus provision, should give it to him who is without provision.” He named various kinds of possessions until we began to think (realize) that none of us had any right to anything surplus.

[Muslim, 1728].
