English narration
Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. Aban and his companions came to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Khaibar after the Prophet (ﷺ) had conquered it, and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do not give them a share of the booty." on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange! You suggest such a thing though you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal (a lotus tree)! "On that the Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give them any share.

وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُخْبِرُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَانَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : فَقَدِمَ أَبَانُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحَهَا ، وَإِنَّ حُزْمَ خَيْلِهِمْ لَلِيفٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَا تَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ ، قَالَ أَبَانُ : وَأَنْتَ بِهَذَا يَا وَبْرُ تَحَدَّرَ مِنْ رَأْسِ ضَأْنٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "
يَا أَبَانُ اجْلِسْ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ
" .
