كتاب فرض الخمسThe Book of The Obligations of Khumus
بَابُ وَمِنَ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ الْخُمُسَ لِنَوَائِبِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا سَأَلَ هَوَازِنُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَضَاعِهِ فِيهِمْ فَتَحَلَّلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ:Chapter. The proof that the Khumus is to be used for the needs of the Muslims, is that when the people of the tribe of Hawazin appealed to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) (to give them back what he had gained from them as war booty) mentioning the fact that he had been nursed by one of their women, he ( (p.b.u.h)) asked the Muslims to give up their shares of the booty to them.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ يُنَفِّلُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْعَثُ مِنَ السَّرَايَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ خَاصَّةً سِوَى قِسْمِ عَامَّةِ الْجَيْشِ " .
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle used to give extra share to some of the members of the Sariya he used to send, in addition to the shares they shared with the army in general.

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.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith it is understood that, after extracting the fifth (khums) from the spoils (ghanimah), the voluntary (nafl) is given. First, the fifth portion is separated from the entire spoils, then the khums is given. Whether it is from the share of the warriors (mujahideen) from the original spoils or from the khums, it is given accordingly.
