A man who attends with several horses: for how many is he allotted a share?

Al-Hasan said: If a man comes to the campaign with several horses, then at the distribution of the spoils a share will be given for only two horses.

Makhul said: If one man has several horses, a share will not be given for more than two horses; those other than these two are only kept as a precaution, to ride after fatigue.

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We took part in a campaign with Sa'id bin Uthman. Hani bin Hani was with us. I had two horses, and Hani also had two horses. Five shares were given for me and my horses, and Hani was given five shares for himself and his horses.

Al-Hasan said: There is no share for more than two horses. If a man has two horses, he will be given five shares: four shares for his horses and one share for himself.

It is narrated from Sulayman bin Musa that if a man enters enemy territory with several horses, each of his horses has a share.
