Sunan Abi Dawud 2707 (Book 15, Hadith 231) #22997
Distributing Spoils of War

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) distributing spoils of war among his companions.

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal: AbdurRahman ibn Ghanam said: We were stationed at the frontiers of the city of Qinnasrin with Shurahbil ibn as-Simt. When he conquered it, he got sheep and cows there. He distributed some of them amongst us, and deposited the rest of them in the spoils of war. I met Mu'adh ibn Jabal and mentioned it to him. Mu'adh said: we went on an expedition of Khaybar along with the Messenger of Allah and we got spoils there. The Messenger of Allah divided them among us and placed the rest of them in the booty.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، - شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأُرْدُنِّ - عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَىٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، قَالَ رَابَطْنَا مَدِينَةَ قِنَّسْرِينَ مَعَ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَهَا أَصَابَ فِيهَا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا فَقَسَمَ فِينَا طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَقِيَّتَهَا فِي الْمَغْنَمِ فَلَقِيتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ خَيْبَرَ فَأَصَبْنَا فِيهَا غَنَمًا فَقَسَمَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ طَائِفَةً وَجَعَلَ بَقِيَّتَهَا فِي الْمَغْنَمِ
