He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Ali Ibn Muhammad informed us on the authority of Hammád Ibn Salamah, he on the authority of al-Hajjaj Ibn Artat, he on the authority of Abu Ishaq al-Hamdáni; (he said): Verily, an al-Urani, (a man of the tribe of al-`Uraynah) received an
epistle from the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, and patched it in
his (leather) bucket. His daughter said to him: I fear that shortly a
catastrophe will befall you because the epistle of the chief of the Arabs
came and you patched it in your bucket. Subsequently an army of the
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, passed by him, and they seized
every thing belonging to him as lawful for them. Then he embraced Islam
and came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him, and informed him (about
it). The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said to him: Whatever you
collect before the Muslims divide it among themselves will be yours.
