It is narrated from Uqbah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) sent a detachment of the army, and I gave a man a sword in it. When he returned, he said, "I have never seen a better way of reproaching than what the Prophet (ﷺ) adopted." He said, "Were you so incapable that if a person could not do my task, you would appoint someone else who could complete that task?"
