Hadith 2743

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 .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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.

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.
