Those who said: he gets nothing if he arrives after the battle

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab al-Ahmasi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a hundred men of Banu Utarid from the people of Basrah went on a campaign, and they reinforced Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) from Kufah. Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out before the battle, and later he said: "We are your partners in the spoils." A man from Banu Utarid stood up and said: "O slave with the cropped ear!" (Sayyiduna Ammar's ear had been lost in jihad.) "Do you want us to give you a share of our spoils?" Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You have reproached me with my best and most beloved ear." Then a letter was written to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote in reply: "A share of the spoils goes to the one who takes part in the battle."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The one who takes part in the battle has a share in the spoils.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that on the day of the Battle of the Camel, some people came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) after the fighting. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "These are the deprived." (He was alluding to the Qur'anic verse "for the one who asks and the deprived.") Then he gave them a share of the spoils.

It is narrated from al-Hasan bin Muhammad that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a detachment, and it obtained spoils. Then some other people came after them, and this blessed verse was revealed: "In whose wealth there is a known right, for the one who asks and the deprived." [Al-Ma'arij: 24-25]

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, in explanation of the Qur'anic verse "for the one who asks and the deprived": It refers to the muharaf (the one denied his livelihood and earnings).

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, regarding the explanation of "the deprived" in the Qur'anic verse "for the one who asks and the deprived": The deprived is the muharaf, the one who has no share in Islam.

It is narrated from al-Dahhak that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out some advance parties. After they had gone, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) obtained some spoils. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the spoils among the people and gave those parties nothing. When those parties returned, they said: "The Prophet of Allah has distributed the spoils but has not given us a share." So this verse was revealed concerning them: "It is not for a prophet to defraud." [Al Imran: 161]

Ibrahim said concerning "the deprived": He is the one who has no share in the spoils.

The same is also narrated from Mujahid.
