Commentary
'Placed in my hand' is an allusion to the conquests which came to pass in the near future, and the incredible treasures that fell into the hands of the Muslims. Abū Hurairah ﷺ too, allude to the same thing. Since these conquests were made by means of Jihād, it is appropriate to bring this narration under this chapter.
