…none of us had any right to anything surplus…
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) reported:
While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), a rider came and began to stare to the right and to the left. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) 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.
[Narrated by Muslim.]
