We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd 
narrated: “On the Day of Ḥunayn, the Messenger of Allah 
gave some Arab noblemen preference in the distribution of the spoils. A man said: ‘By Allah, there is no justice in this distribution and the Countenance of Allah is not sought in it.’ I said: ‘By Allah, I will definitely inform the Messenger of Allah .’ I came to him and told him about what [the man] had said. His face changed until it was like red dye, and then he said: ‘Who can be just if Allah and His Messenger are not just?’ Then he said: ‘May Allah have mercy on Mūsā! He was injured with more than this, and he had patience.’” [5].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that Ibn ‘Abbās 
related that ‘Uyaynah ibn Ḥiṣn ibn Ḥudhayfah came and lodged with his nephew al-Ḥurr ibn Qays, who was one of the group whom ‘Umar kept close to himself. The reciters of the Qur’ān were the assembly of ‘Umar and his council, whether they were middle-aged or young. ‘Uyaynah said to his nephew: “Nephew, you have some status with this leader, so ask him to permit me entry.” ‘Umar then gave him permission. When he entered he said: “Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, by Allah, you do not give generously to us and you do not rule us justly.” ‘Umar became angry, so much so that he was on the point of attacking him. Al-Ḥurr said: “O Leader of the Believers, Allah told His Prophet : ‘Hold onto forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant,’ and this is one of the ignorant.” By Allah, ‘Umar did not go any further when he had recited that verse to him, for he was a staunch adherent to the Book of Allah .
