وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ صَامِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَّلَ فِي الْبَدَائَةِ الرُّبْعَ وَفِي الرَّجْعَةِ الثُّلُثَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) initially gave a quarter share, and upon return, gave an additional one-third share.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In these hadiths, another exceptional case of the distribution of war booty (mal-e-ghanīmah) has been described: when the army of Islam was proceeding towards its objective and, along the way, a detachment (sariyyah) was separated and sent towards some surrounding area, then whatever war booty they brought back, a fourth portion was given to them in addition, and the remaining three portions were distributed equally among all the fighters. If this situation occurred upon returning from jihad, then a third portion was given in addition. However, before this third or fourth portion, the khumus (one-fifth) must be taken out.
