Then the people said, “Judge between them, O Commander of the Faithful, and grant relief to each one.” From his companion, their quarrel had gone on for a long time, so Omar, may God be pleased with him, said: I adjure you, by God, by whose permission the heavens are established.

God Almighty has singled out some of it for His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.” With something that no one else gave him, and he said: {And whatever Allah has given to His Messenger of them, you have not given him any horses or riders.} And it was the Messenger’s.
