Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الجهاد، باب في النفل من الذهب والفضة ومن أول مغنم، حديث:2753، وأحمد:3 /470.»©Explanation:
➊ Here, two issues are worthy of consideration: The first is whether this additional and extra portion should be given from the original spoils of war (mal-e-ghanima) or from the khums (one-fifth share)? In this hadith, neither of these matters is explicitly stated; rather, at most, it is understood that the spoils will be divided into five parts before giving the nafl (extra portion).
Whereas, it is established from authentic ahadith that it is permissible to give the nafl whether from the original spoils or from the khums—both ways are allowed.
The second issue is whether it is permissible to give the nafl before the khums is taken out or not? The apparent meaning of this hadith suggests that there is no such permission, but the wording established from another chain of the previous hadith of Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma (1109) indicates its permissibility.
➋ In this narration, it is explicitly stated that the mujahideen sent towards Najd were given the nafl before the khums was taken out.
See: (Sunan Abi Dawud with the commentary Awn al-Ma‘bud: 3/22). Therefore, the apparent meaning of the prohibition in this hadith is not intended; rather, the prohibition is of a discouraging (tanzihi) nature.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Since this wealth was obtained from the land of war (dar al-harb) without any conflict, only khums (one-fifth) applies to such wealth, not nafl (additional reward).
Because both khums and nafl (extra reward) are applied to wealth acquired through fighting.
And this pot was found as it was.
Therefore, all the mujahideen were given equal shares in it.
➋
In this, the affirmation of the issue of the chapter is found in the statement "I would have given you as well,"
meaning, I would have given you nafl from these dinars.
And a dinar is a gold coin.
