Hadith:Loot to the Cause of Allah (Islam)

Loot to the Cause of Allah - 5th Rajab 1431 (17th June 2010)

Narrated 'Amr bin Taghlib (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) gave (gifts) to some people
to the exclusion of some others. The latter seemed to be displeased by
that. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "I give to some
people, lest they should deviate from True Faith or lose patience, while I
refer other people to the goodness and contentment which Allah has put in
their hearts, and 'Amr bin Taghlib is amongst them." 'Amr bin Taghlib said,
"The statement of Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) is dearer
to me than red camels."

Narrated Al-Hasan: 'Amr bin Taghlib told us that Allah's Apostle
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) got some property or some war prisoners and
he distributed them in the above way (i.e. giving to some people to the
exclusion of others).
