Hadith 2741

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشَّرٌ . 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 .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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).

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The reconciliation and synthesis in the aforementioned ahadith is as follows:
The commander (amir) gave the reward.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) affirmed it.
This was then directly attributed to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), which is correct.
