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.
