They left the property to the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—and it belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—to dispose of as he wished. The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—distributed it among (10) the earliest Emigrants to the exclusion of the Helpers. However, Sahl ibn Hunayf and Abū Dujāna (11) mentioned their destitution and poverty, so the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—gave some to both of them.’” (12).
