Chapter: Regarding Whoever Said That The Khumus Is Before The Nafl.

Narrated Habib ibn Maslamah al-Fihri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give a third of the spoils after he would keep off the fifth.

Narrated Habib ibn Maslamah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give a quarter of the booty as reward after the fifty had been kept off, and a third after the fifth had been kept off when he returned.

Narrated Habib ibn Maslamah al-Fihri: Makhul said: 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 say: I was present with the Prophet ﷺ. He gave a quarter of the spoils on the outward journey and a third on the return journey.
