حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنِ الْمَمْلُوكِ أَلَهُ فِي الْفَيْءِ شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَلْ لَهُنَّ نَصِيبٌ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْلَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أُحْمُوقَةً مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَّا الْمَمْلُوكُ فَكَانَ يُحْذَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَقَدْ كُنَّ يُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى وَيَسْقِينَ الْمَاءَ.

Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما asking him about such-and-such, and such-and-such, and he mentioned some things; he (asked) about a slave whether he would get something from the spoils; and he (asked) about women whether they used to go out (on expeditions) along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, and whether they would be allotted a share, Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said: Had I not apprehended a folly, I would not have written (a reply) to him. As for the slave, he was given a little of the spoils (as a reward from the booty); as to the women, they would treat the wounded and supply water.

— Narrated Yazid Ibn Hurmuz said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالزُّهْرِي عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ قَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَلَا وَقَدْ كَانَ يُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ.

“Najdah Al Hururi wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما asking him whether the women participated in battle along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and whether they were allotted a share from the spoils. I (Yazid bin Hurmuz) wrote a letter on behalf of Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما to Najdah. They participated in the battle along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, but no portion (from the spoils) was allotted to them, they were given only a little of it.

— Yazid bin Humruz said

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَيْرُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا رَافِعُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي حَشْرَجُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهَا خَرَجَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ سَادِسَ سِتِّ نِسْوَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا فَجِئْنَا فَرَأَيْنَا فِيهِ الْغَضَبَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَعَ مَنْ خَرَجْتُنَّ وَبِإِذْنِ مَنْ خَرَجْتُنَّ ؟ فَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا نَغْزِلُ الشَّعَرَ وَنُعِينُ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَنَا دَوَاءُ الْجَرْحَى وَنُنَاوِلُ السِّهَامَ وَنَسْقِي السَّوِيقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُمْنَ. حتَّى إِذَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْبَرَ أَسْهَمَ لَنَا كَمَا أَسْهَمَ لِلرِّجَالِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا جَدَّةُ وَمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ تَمْرًا .

She went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم for the battle of Khaybar. They were six in number including herself. (She said): When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was informed about it, he sent for us. We came to him, and found him angry. He said: With whom did you come out, and by whose permission did you come out? We said: Messenger of Allah, we have come out to spin the hair, by which we provide aid in the cause of Allah. We have medicine for the wounded, we hand arrows (to the fighters), and supply drink made of wheat or barley. He said: Stand up. When Allah bestowed victory of Khaybar on him, he allotted shares to us from spoils that he allotted to the men. He (Hashraj ibn Ziyad) said: I said to her: Grandmother, what was that? She replied: Dates.

— Narrated Hashraj ibn Ziyad reported on the authority of his grandmother

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرٌ مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ شَهِدْتُ خَيْبَرَ مَعَ سَادَتِي فَكَلَّمُوا فِيَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِي فَقُلِّدْتُ سَيْفًا فَإِذَا أَنَا أَجُرُّهُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنِّي مَمْلُوكٌ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ حَرَّمَ اللَّحْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَسُمِّيَ آبِي اللَّحْمِ.

I was present at Khaybar along with my masters who spoke about me to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He ordered about me, and a sword was girded on me and I was trailing it. He was then informed that I was a slave. He, therefore, ordered that I should be given some inferior goods. Abu Dawud said: This means that he (the Prophet) did not allot a portion of the spoils. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ubaid said: As he (the narrator Abi al-Lahm) made eating meat unlawful on himself, he was called Abi al-Lahm (one who hates meat).

— Narrated Umayr, client of AbulLahm

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ أَمِيحُ أَصْحَابِي الْمَاءَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ.

I supplied water to my companions on the day of Badr.

— Narrated Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْفُضَيْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَحْيَى إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُقَاتِلَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ارْجِعْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ.

A man from the polytheists accompanied the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to fight along with him. He said “Go back. Both the narrators (Musaddad and Yahya) then agreed. The Prophet said “We do not want any help from a polytheist. ”

— Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said (this is the version of narrator Yahya)

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْهَمَ لِرَجُلٍ وَلِفَرَسِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ سَهْمًا لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَهْمَيْنِ لِفَرَسِهِ.

“The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم allotted three portions for a man and his horse, one for him and two for his horse.

— Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَةَ نَفَرٍ وَمَعَنَا فَرَسٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَعْطَى كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَّا سَهْمًا وَأَعْطَى لِلْفَرَسِ سَهْمَيْنِ.

We four persons, came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, and we (i.e. each one of us) had horses. He therefore, allotted one portion for each of us, and two portions for his horse.

— Narrated Abu Umrah (al-Ansari) رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ زَادَ فَكَانَ لِلْفَارِسِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَسْهُمٍ.

But this version has “Three Persons” and added “To the horseman three portions. ”

— The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu ‘Umrah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُجَمِّعُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ مُجَمِّعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ مُجَمِّعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَذْكُرُ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُجَمِّعِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ أَحَدَ الْقُرَّاءِ الَّذِينَ قَرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ شَهِدْنَا الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ مَعَ َرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا عَنْهَا إِذَا النَّاسُ يَهُزُّونَ الْأَبَاعِرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِبَعْضٍ مَا لِلنَّاسِ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ أُوحِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ نُوجِفُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَجَدْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاقِفًا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ عِنْدَ كُرَاعِ الْغَمِيمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَتْحٌ هُوَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَفَتْحٌ فَقُسِّمَتْ خَيْبَرُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَسَّمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ الْجَيْشُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةٍ فِيهِمْ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَعْطَى الْفَارِسَ سَهْمَيْنِ وَأَعْطَى الرَّاجِلَ سَهْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ حَدِيثُ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ أَصَحُّ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَرَى الْوَهْمَ فِي حَدِيثِ مُجَمِّعٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانُوا مِائَتَيْ فَارِسٍ.

He was one of the Quran-reciters (qaris), and he said: We were present with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at al-Hudaybiyyah. When we returned, the people were driving their camels quickly. The people said to one another: What is the matter with them? They said: Revelation has come down to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. We also proceeded with the people, galloping (our camels). We found the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم standing on his riding-animal at Kura' al-Ghamim. When the people gathered near him, he recited: Verily We have granted thee a manifest victory. A man asked: Is this a victory, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. By Him in Whose hands the soul of Muhammad is, this is a victory. Khaybar was divided among those who had been at al-Hudaybiyyah, and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم divided it into eighteen portions. The army consisted of one thousand five hundred men, of which three hundred were cavalry, and he gave two shares to a horseman and one to a foot-soldier. Abu Dawud said: Abu Muawiyah's tradition is sounder, and it is one which is followed. I think the error is in the tradition of Mujammi, because he said: three hundred horsemen. when there were only two hundred.

— Narrated Mujammi Ibn Jariyah al-Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَهُ مِنَ النَّفَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتَقَدَّمَ الْفِتْيَانُ وَلَزِمَ الْمَشْيَخَةُ الرَّايَاتِ فَلَمْ يَبْرَحُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ الْمَشْيَخَةُ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا رِدْءًا لَكُمْ لَوِ انْهَزَمْتُمْ لَفِئْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا تَذْهَبُوا بِالْمَغْنَمِ وَنَبْقَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى الْفِتْيَانُ وَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ جَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ كَمَا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَكَارِهُونَ سورة الأنفال آية 1 ـ 5 يَقُولُ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ فَكَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا فَأَطِيعُونِي فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعَاقِبَةِ هَذَا مِنْكُمْ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said on the day of Badr: He who does such-and-such, will have such-and such. The young men came forward and the old men remained standing near the banners, and they did not move from there. When Allah bestowed victory on them, the old men said: We were support for you. If you had been defeated, you would have returned to us. Do not take this booty alone and we remain (deprived of it). The young men refused (to give), and said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم has given it to us. Then Allah sent down: They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war, Say: (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger. . . . . . Just as they Lord ordered thee out of thy house in truth, even though a party among the believers disliked it. This proved good for them. Similarly obey me. I know the consequence of this better than you.

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلًا فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ أَسَرَ أَسِيرًا فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَاقَ نَحْوَهُ وَحَدِيثُ خَالِدٍ أَتَمُّ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said on the day of Badr: He who kills a man will get such-and-such, and he who captivates a man will get such-and-such. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition in a similar manner. The tradition of Khalid is more perfect.

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَسَّمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالسَّوَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَدِيثُ خَالِدٍ أَتَمُّ.

“The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم apportioned it (spoils of war) equally. The tradition of Khalid is more perfect.

— The tradition mentioned above has been transmitted by Dawud with a different chain of narrators. He said

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ بِسَيْفٍ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَفَى صَدْرِي الْيَوْمَ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ لَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبْتُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ يُعْطَاهُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبْلِ بَلَائِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا إِذْ جَاءَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَجِبْ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ بِكَلَامِي فَجِئْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِي وَلَا لَكَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَهُ لِي فَهُوَ لَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَرَأَ:‏‏‏‏ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ سورة الأنفال آية 1 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قِرَاءَةُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَسْأَلُونَكَ النَّفْلَ.

“I brought a sword to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم on the day of the Badr and I said (to him) Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, Allah has healed up my breast from the enemy today, so give me this sword. He said “This sword is neither mine nor yours. I then went away saying “today this will be given to a man who has not been put to trial like me. Meanwhile a messenger and came to me and said “Respond, I thought something was revealed about me owing to my speech. I came and the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to me “You asked me for this sword, but this was neither mine nor yours. Now Allah has given it to me, hence it is yours. He then recited “they ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say “ (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger. Abu Dawud said “According to the reading of the Quran of Ibn Masud رضی اللہ عنہ the verse goes. They ask thee concerning (things taken as ) spoils of war.

— Musab bin Saad reported on the authority of his father (Saad bin Abi Waqqas)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَامُبَشَّرٌ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَهُمُ الْمَعْنَى كُلُّهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَيْشٍ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ وَانْبَعَثَتْ سَرِيَّةٌ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانَ سُهْمَانُ الْجَيْشِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنَفَّلَ أَهْلَ السَّرِيَّةِ بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا فَكَانَتْ سُهْمَانُهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent us along with an army towards Najd, and he sent a detachment of that army (to face the enemy). The whole army got twelve camels per head as their portion, but he gave the detachment one additional camel (apart from the division made to the army). Thus they got thirteen camels each (as a reward).

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما

حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثْتُ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَعْدِلُ مَنْ سَمَّيْتَ بِمَالِكٍ هَكَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ يَعْنِي مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ.

“I narrated this tradition (mentioned above) to Ibn Al Mubarak and said “And similarly it has been narrated by Ibn Abi Farwah to us on the authority of Nafi (as narrated by Shuaib). He (Ibn Al Mubarak) said “Those whom you have named cannot be equal to Malik i.e, Malik bin Anas.

— Al Walid bin Muslim said

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكِلَابِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً إِلَى نَجْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهَا فَأَصَبْنَا نَعَمًا كَثِيرًا فَنَفَّلَنَا أَمِيرُنَا بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَسَمَ بَيْنَنَا غَنِيمَتَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَصَابَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا بَعْدَ الْخُمُسِ وَمَا حَاسَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالَّذِي أَعْطَانَا صَاحِبُنَا وَلَا عَابَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ مَا صَنَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانَ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا بِنَفْلِهِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent a detachment to Najd. I went out along with them, and got abundant riches. Our commander gave each of us a camel as a reward. We then came upon the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and he divided the spoils of war among us. Each of us received twelve camels after taking a fifth of it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not take account of our companion (i. e. the commander of the army), nor did he blame him for what he had done. Thus each man of us had received thirteen camels with the reward he gave.

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما

“The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent a detachment towards Najd. Abdullaah bin Umar رضی اللہ عنہما also accompanied it. They gained a large number of Camels as a booty. Their portion was twelve Camels each and they were rewarded (in addition) one Camel each. The version of Ibn Mawhab added “The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not change it”

— Nafi reported on the authority of Abdullah bin Umar رضی اللہ عنہما

“The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent us along with a detachment. The share of each was twelve Camels. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave each one of us a Camel as a reward. Abu Dawud said “Burd bin Sinan narrated a similar tradition from Nafi as narrated by Ubaidullah. Ayyub also narrated from Nafi a similar tradition, but his version goes “We were rewarded one Camel each. He did not mention the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to give to some of the detachments he sent out (something extra) for themselves in particular apart from the division made to the whole army. The fifth is necessary in all that.

— Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم went out on the day of Badr along with three hundred and fifteen (men). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: O Allah, they are on foot, provide mount for them; O Allah, they are naked, clothe them; O Allah, they are hungry, provide food for them. Allah then bestowed victory on them. They returned when they were clothed. There was no man of them but he returned with one or two camels; they were clothed and ate to their fill.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم would give a third of the spoils after he would keep off the fifth.

I was the slave of a woman of Banu Hudhayl; afterwards she emancipated me. I did not leave Egypt until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to me to exist there. I then came to al-Hijaz and I did not leave it until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to be available. Then I came to al-Iraq, and I did not leave it until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to be available. I then came to Syria, and besieged it. I asked everyone about giving rewards from the booty. I did not find anyone who could tell me anything about it. I then met an old man called Ziyad ibn Jariyah at-Tamimi. I asked him: Have you heard anything about giving rewards from the booty? He replied: Yes. I heard Maslamah al-Fihri رضی اللہ عنہ say: I was present with the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He gave a quarter of the spoils on the outward journey and a third on the return journey.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Muslims are equal in respect of blood. The lowest of them is entitled to give protection on behalf of them, and the one residing far away may give protection on behalf of them. They are like one hand over against all those who are outside the community. Those who have quick mounts should return to those who have slow mounts, and those who got out along with a detachment (should return) to those who are stationed. A believer shall not be killed for an unbeliever, nor a confederate within the term of confederation with him. Ibn Ishaq did not mention retaliation and equality in respect of blood.
