The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ صَدَرَ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الْجِعِرَّانَةَ سَأَلَهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى دَنَتْ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ فَتَشَبَّكَتْ بِرِدَائِهِ حَتَّى نَزَعَتْهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " رُدُّوا عَلَىَّ رِدَائِي أَتَخَافُونَ أَنْ لاَ أَقْسِمَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلَ سَمُرِ تِهَامَةَ نَعَمًا لَقَسَمْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُونِي بَخِيلاً وَلاَ جَبَانًا وَلاَ كَذَّابًا " . فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ " أَدُّوا الْخِيَاطَ وَالْمِخْيَطَ فَإِنَّ الْغُلُولَ عَارٌ وَنَارٌ وَشَنَارٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . قَالَ ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَبَرَةً مِنْ بَعِيرٍ أَوْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا لِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلاَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ إِلاَّ الْخُمُسُ وَالْخُمُسُ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكُمْ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Said from
Amr ibn Shuayb that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came back from Hunayn heading for al-Jiirrana,
the people crowded around so much to question him that his she-camel
backed into a tree, which became entangled in his cloak and pulled it
off his back. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Return my cloak to me. Are you afraid that I will
not distribute among you what Allah has given you as spoils. By He in
whose hand my self is! Had Allah given you spoils equal to the number
of acacia trees on the plain of Tihama, I would have distributed it
among you. You will not find me to be miserly, cowardly, or a liar."
Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
got down and stood among the people, and said, "Hand over even the
needle and thread, for stealing from the spoils is disgrace, fire,
ignominy on the Day of Rising for people who do it." Then he took a
bit of camel fluff or something from the ground and said, "By He in
whose hand my self is! What Allah has made spoils for you is not mine
- even the like of this! - except for the tax of one fifth, and the
tax of one fifth is returned to you."
