وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حِمْيَرَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ، فَأَرَادَ سَلَبَهُ، فَمَنَعَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَكَانَ وَالِيًا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ لِخَالِدٍ: «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ سَلَبَهُ؟» قَالَ: اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ»، فَمَرَّ خَالِدٌ بِعَوْفٍ، فَجَرَّ بِرِدَائِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ أَنْجَزْتُ لَكَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتُغْضِبَ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تُعْطِهِ يَا خَالِدُ، لَا تُعْطِهِ يَا خَالِدُ، هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُونَ لِي أُمَرَائِي؟ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتُرْعِيَ إِبِلًا، أَوْ غَنَمًا، فَرَعَاهَا، ثُمَّ تَحَيَّنَ سَقْيَهَا، فَأَوْرَدَهَا حَوْضًا، فَشَرَعَتْ فِيهِ فَشَرِبَتْ صَفْوَهُ، وَتَرَكَتْ كَدْرَهُ، فَصَفْوُهُ لَكُمْ، وَكَدْرُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

A man from the Himyar tribe killed an enemy and wanted to take the booty. Khalid bin Walid رضی اللہ عنہ , who was the commander over them, forbade, him. 'Auf bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ (the narrator) came to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and informed him (to this effect). The latter asked Khalid: What prevented you from giving the booty to him? Khalid رضی اللہ عنہ said: I thought it was too much. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid رضی اللہ عنہ by Auf رضی اللہ عنہ , the latter pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the same thing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) heard it. he was angry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid, don't give him. Are you going to desert the commanders appointed by roe? Your similitude and theirs is like a person who took camels and sheep for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time for them to have a drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, drinking away its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water (i.e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i.e. blame) is for them.
