Imam Hasan al-Basri and Ibn Sirin said that a laborer will also be given a share from the spoils of war. Atiyyah bin Qays took a horse on the condition of receiving half of the share (from the spoils of war). The horse’s share amounted to four hundred dinars (from the spoils after victory). Atiyyah kept two hundred dinars for himself and gave two hundred to the owner of the horse.

Narrated Yali: I participated in the Ghazwa of Tabuk along with Allah's Apostle and I gave a young camel to be ridden in Jihad and that was, to me, one of my best deeds. Then I employed a laborer who quarrelled with another person. One of them bit the hand of the other and the latter drew his hand from the mouth of the former pulling out his front tooth. Then the former instituted a suit against the latter before the Prophet who rejected that suit saying, "Do you expect him to put out his hand for you to snap as a male camel snaps (vegetation)?"
