He spoke to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (about his participation), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted him a share (of the spoils). He said: O Messenger of Allah! Will I have my reward as well? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And your reward as well."

His mother was Fatimah bint Ba'jah, from Khuza'ah. He came from Syria after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had returned from Badr, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted him a share. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Will I have my reward as well? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And your reward as well."
