Takhrij:
«أخرجه البخاري، فرض الخمس، باب ومن الدليل علي أن الخمس لنوائب المسلمين، حديث:3135، ومسلم، الجهاد والسير، باب الأنفال، حديث:1750 /40.»©Explanation:
➊ From this hadith, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not grant this voluntary share to every combatant, but rather deemed it appropriate to give it only to specific combatants due to some particular benefit. Furthermore, even among those to whom he gave this share, he did not distribute it equally, but would give more or less according to service and benefit.
➋ From this, it is understood that even today, the head of state or the commander of the army can grant special rewards to combatants who render particular services, such as medals of varying value, insignias, cash prizes, etc.
➌ This serves to encourage the combatants and warriors of Islam.
