حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَی أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ جَرَّةً حَمْرَائَ فِيهَا دَنَانِيرُ فِي إِمْرَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَعَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَعْطَانِي مِنْهَا مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَی رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا نَفْلَ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الْخُمُسِ لَأَعْطَيْتُکَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ فَأَبَيْتُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2753
Narrated Maan ibn Yazid: AbulJuwayriyyah al-Jarmi said: I found a red pitcher containing dinars in Byzantine territory during the reign of Muawiyah. A man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ belonging to Banu Sulaym was our ruler. He was called Maan ibn Yazid. I brought it to him. He apportioned it among the Muslims. He gave me the same portion which he gave to one of them. He then said: Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no reward except after taking the fifth (from the booty), I would have given you (the reward). He then presented his own share to me, but I refused.
