On the day of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ allotted the share designated for kinsfolk to Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib, leaving out Banu Nawfal and Banu Abd Shams.So Uthman bin Affan and I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Hashim, whose merit we do not deny because of the position in which Allah has placed you among them. But what about our brothers, Banu Muttalib? You gave to them and left us out, even though our kinship to you is the same."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "We and Banu Muttalib have never parted from one another, neither in the days of ignorance nor in Islam. We and they are one and the same." And he interlocked his fingers.
لما كان يوم خيبر وضع رسول الله ﷺ سهم ذى القربى في بني هاشم وبني المطلب وترك بني نوفل وبني عبد شمس فانطلقت أنا وعثمان بن عفان حتى أتينا النبي ﷺ فقلنا: يا رسول الله هؤلاء بنو هاشم لا ننكر فضلهم للموضع الذي وضعك الله به منهم فما بال إخواننا بنى المطلب أعطيتهم وتركتنا وقرابتنا واحدة فقال رسول الله ﷺ: إنا وبنو المطلب لا نفترق في جاهلية ولا إسلام، وإنما نحن وهم شيء واحد، وشبك بين أصابعه.
Reported by Abu Dawud (2980), Nasai (4137), Ahmad (16741), and Bayhaqi (6/341), all of them through various routes from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Zuhri, from Saeed bin Musayab, from Jubayr bin Mutim, who mentioned it.Its chain is hasan because of Muhammad bin Ishaq, for his hadith is hasan when he explicitly states that he heard it directly, and he did state this explicitly in Tabari's exegesis of verse 41 of Surah Anfal, and in Bayhaqi.
