3008. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When it was the day (of the battle) of Badr, prisoners of war were brought including Al-'Abbās who did not have a body covering. The Prophet ﷺ looked for a shirt for him. It was found that the shirt of 'Abdullāh bin Ubaī would do, so the Prophet ﷺ let him wear it. That was the reason why the Prophet ﷺ took off and gave his own shirt to 'Abdullāh. The narrator adds, "He had done the Prophet ﷺ some favour for which the Prophet ﷺ liked to reward him."(1)

3008 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أُتِيَ بِأُسَارَى، وَأُتِيَ بِالعَبَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ، «فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُ قَمِيصًا، فَوَجَدُوا قَمِيصَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ يَقْدُرُ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَسَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاهُ، فَلِذَلِكَ نَزَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَمِيصَهُ الَّذِي أَلْبَسَهُ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُكَافِئَهُ
