Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man came on his mount, looking right and left. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "1 Whoever has an extra mount should offer it to one who has none, and whoever has extra provisions should offer them to one who has none." He mentioned various types of wealth, to the point that we thought none of us had a right to anything extra.

(1) The statement: "Whoever has an extra mount should offer it, etc.": Al-Nawawi said: This encourages charity, mutual support, kindness to companions, and attending to their needs by offering assistance without their asking. This applies even if the person has a mount or clothes or is wealthy in their homeland; they may give from zakat in this situation. As stated in (Al-Mirqat).

(١)قوله: من كان معه فضل ظهر فليقعد به إلخ: قال النووي: فيه حث على الصدقة والمواسات والإحسان إلى الرفقة والأصحاب والاعتناء بمصالحهم، والسعي في قضاء حاجة المحتاج بتعرضه للعطاء، وتعريضه من غير سؤال، وإن كان له راحلة وعليه ثياب أو كان موسرا في وطنه فيعطي من الزكاة في هذا الحال. كذا في (المرقاة).
