Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُنَفِّلُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْعَثُ مِنْ السَّرَايَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ خَاصَّةً سِوَى قَسْمِ عَامَّةِ الْجَيْشِ وَالْخُمُسُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَاجِبٌ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Hajjaj, from Layth, from 'Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn 'Abdullah — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give a special bonus [nafal] to some of those he sent out in raiding parties [saraya], for themselves exclusively, beyond the share of the main army. And the one-fifth [khums] was obligatory in that [from the total spoils] for Allah (تعالى).
