حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي . ح وحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حُجَيْنٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَانَ يُنَفِّلُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْعَثُ مِنَ السَّرَايَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ خَاصَّةَ النَّفَلِ سِوَى قَسْمِ عَامَّةِ الْجَيْشِ ، وَالْخُمُسُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَاجِبٌ كُلُّهُ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In the terminology of Islamic law, "nafl" refers to the gift that the Imam gives to a person who has shown some achievement in battle.
➋
From the first hadith, it is understood that it is permissible to give a nafl from the spoils of war in addition to the allotted share, because it is explicitly mentioned that the warriors were given, as a reward, an extra camel each besides their share of the spoils. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not object to this distribution.
➌
According to the second hadith, some warriors may be given a greater share than others due to their good performance. However, this additional share will be given from the khums (one-fifth portion). (: ‘Umdat al-Qari: 404/10)
➍
The purpose of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) is to show that the Imam is authorized to distribute the wealth of khums at his own discretion. He may give more to someone due to their distinguished services. And Allah knows best.
