“When Mughirah bin Shu’bah fought alongside the Prophet ﷺ he would carry a spear, and when he would come back he would throw his spear down so that someone would pick it up and give it back to him.” ‘Ali said to him: “I will tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that.” He (the Prophet ﷺ) said: “Do not do that, for it you do that it will not be picked up as a lost item to be returned.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

كَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ إِذَا غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ رُمْحًا فَإِذَا رَجَعَ طَرَحَهُ كَيْمَا يَحْمِلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ لَأَذْكُرَنَّ هَذَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهَا فَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ ضَالَّةً»
