Sahih al-Bukhari 2827 (Book 56, Hadith 43) #2703
Accusations and Rewards in Khaibar

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was accused of killing a Muslim, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked to give him a share from the land of Khaibar.

Narrated Abu Huraira: I went to Allah's Messenger while he was at Khaibar after it had fallen in the Muslims' hands. I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Give me a share (from the land of Khaibar)". One of the sons of Sa'id bin Al-'As said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Do not give him a share". I said, "This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal". The son of Said bin Al-As said, "Strange! A Wabr (ie guinea pig) who has come down to us from the mountain of qadum (ie grazing place of sheep) blames me for killing a Muslim who was given superiority by Allah because of me, and Allah did not disgrace me at his hands (ie was not killed as an infidel)". (The sub-narrator said "I do not know whether the Prophet gave him a share or not")
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهْوَ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحُوهَا، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْهِمْ لِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ بَنِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ لاَ تُسْهِمْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا قَاتِلُ ابْنِ قَوْقَلٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَاعَجَبًا لِوَبْرٍ تَدَلَّى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَدُومِ ضَأْنٍ، يَنْعَى عَلَىَّ قَتْلَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَىَّ وَلَمْ يُهِنِّي عَلَى يَدَيْهِ‏.‏ قَالَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَسْهَمَ لَهُ أَمْ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ لَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Defend yourself peacefully without resorting to violence or aggression; be just in dealing with accusations and rewards; use dialogue/reasoning instead of aggression when faced with injustice.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an incident that happened when Abu Huraira went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ at Khaibar after it had been conquered by Muslims. He asked for a share from the land, but one of Sa'id bin Al-'As's sons objected, saying that he was responsible for killing Ibn Qauqal. Abu Huraira then defended himself by saying that he did not kill him as an infidel, implying that he killed him as a Muslim with superiority given by Allah. It is unclear whether or not the Prophet ﷺ gave him a share or not. This hadith teaches us several values such as justice and fairness in dealing with accusations and rewards; it also shows us how we should respond when we are accused of something unjustly. We should defend ourselves without resorting to violence or aggression, but rather through peaceful means such as dialogue and reasoning.
