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.

It has been narrated by Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent an expedition to Najd, and I (also) went with the troops. We got camels and goats as spoils of war, and our share amounted to twelve camels per head, and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave an extra camel to each of us.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Ubaidullah with the same chain of transmitters.

Ibn Aun said: I wrote to Nafi' asking him about Nafl (spoils of war) and he wrote to me that Ibn 'Umar was among that expedition. (The rest of the hadith is the same.)

A hadith has been narrated by Salim who learnt it from his father and said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us an extra (camel) besides our share of Khums; (and in this extra share) I got a Sharif (and a Sharif is a big old camel).

Ibn Shihab reported: It reached me through Ibn 'Umar (RA) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave a share of spoils to the troop. The rest of the hadith is the same.

It has been narrated on the authority of'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to give (from the spoils of war) to small troops sent on expeditions something more than the due share of each fighter in a large force. And Khums (one-fifth of the total spoils) was to be reserved (for Allah and His Apostle) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in all cases.

Abu Muammad al-Ansari, who was the close companion of Abu Qatadah (RA) narrated the hadith (which follows).

Abu Muhammad, the freed slave of Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of Abu Qatda and narrated the hadith.

Abu Qatada reported:We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired."
