Allah and His Messenger at the Basin.’ Anas added, ‘Yet we did not endure.’ Agreed upon.

Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim ibn ʿUmar ibn Qatādah related to me, from Maḥmūd ibn Labīd, from Abū Saʿīd, who said, ‘When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed gifts to the Quraysh and to other Arab tribes in order to win their hearts, and none of it reached the Anṣār—neither much nor little—they felt resentment within themselves.’ He then reported something similar to the narration of Anas.

Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated—from ʿUmar ibn Saʿīd ibn Masrūq, from his father, from ʿAbāyah ibn Rafāʿah ibn Rāfiʿ ibn Khadīj, from his grandfather—that the Prophet ﷺ gave those whose hearts were being reconciled from the booty of Ḥunayn one hundred camels each. He granted Abū Sufyān ibn Ḥarb one hundred, Ṣafwān ibn Umayyah one hundred, ʿUyaynah ibn Ḥiṣn one hundred, al-Aqraʿ ibn Ḥābis one hundred, ʿAlqamah ibn ʿAlāthah one hundred, Mālik ibn ʿAwf al-Naṣrī one hundred, and al-ʿAbbās ibn Mirdās less than one hundred.

At this al-ʿAbbās composed the following verses:
‘Will you allot my plunder and the plunder of my slaves
To ʿUyaynah and al-Aqraʿ for them to divide?
Neither Ḥiṣn nor Ḥābis surpasses Mirdās
In any gathering where men contend.
In battle I always stood my ground,
Yet I was given nothing, nor flatly refused.
I am in no way less than either of them,
And whoever is cast down today will not be raised.’

So the Prophet completed his share to one hundred. Muslim recorded the report but without mentioning Mālik ibn ʿAwf, ʿAlqamah, or the third couplet of the poem.
