Hadith 1750
وحَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَاللَّفْظُ لِسُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " نَفَّلَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَلًا سِوَى نَصِيبِنَا مِنَ الْخُمْسِ ، فَأَصَابَنِي شَارِفٌ وَالشَّارِفُ الْمُسِنُّ الْكَبِيرُ " ،
A hadith has been narrated by Salim who learnt it from his father and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us an extra (camel) besides our share of Khums; (and in this extra share) I got a Sharif (and a Sharif is a big old camel).

وحَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : نَفَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ رَجَاءٍ .
Ibn Shihab reported: It reached me through Ibn 'Umar (RA) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave a share of spoils to the troop. The rest of the hadith is the same.

وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَانَ " يُنَفِّلُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْعَثُ مِنَ السَّرَايَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ، خَاصَّةً سِوَى قَسْمِ عَامَّةِ الْجَيْشِ وَالْخُمْسُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَاجِبٌ كُلِّهِ " .
It has been narrated on the authority of'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to give (from the spoils of war) to small troops sent on expeditions something more than the due share of each fighter in a large force. And Khums (one-fifth of the total spoils) was to be reserved (for Allah and His Apostle) (ﷺ) in all cases.
