حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ الْمَعْنَى ،عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فِيهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ ، فَغَنِمُوا إِبِلًا كَثِيرَةً فَكَانَتْ سُهْمَانُهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا وَنُفِّلُوا بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا ، زَادَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ : فَلَمْ يُغَيِّرْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Nafi reported on the authority of Abd Allaah bin Umar “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a detachment towards Najd. Abd Allaah bin Umar 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 ﷺ did not change it”

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.
