A hadith has been narrated by Mus'ab bin Sa'd who heard it from his father as saying: My father took a sword from Khums and brought it to the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Grant it to me.

A hadith has been narrated by Mus'ab bin Sa'd who heard it from his father as saying: "Four verses of the Qur'an have been revealed about me. I found a sword (among the spoils of war). It was brought to the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He (my father) said: Messenger of Allah, bestow it upon me. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Place it there. Then he (my father) stood up and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Place it from where you got it. (At this) he (my father) said again: Messenger of Allah, bestow it upon me. Shall I be treated like one who has no share in (the booty)? The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace be upon him said: Place it from where you got it.

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (RA) that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent an expedition to Najd and I was among the troops. They got a large number of camels as a booty. Eleven or twelve camels fell to the lot of every fighter and each of them also got one extra camel.

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent an expedition to Najd and Ibn 'Umar (RA) was also among the troops, and their share (of the spoils) came to twelve camels and they were given one camel over and above that and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not make any change in it.
