Sunan Abi Dawud 2741 (Book 15, Hadith 265) #23031
Rewarding Service

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave an extra camel to a detachment of the army as a reward for their service.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah sent us along with an army towards Najd, and he sent a detachment of that army (to face the enemy). The whole army got twelve camels per head as their portion, but he gave the detachment one additional camel (apart from the division made to the army). Thus they got thirteen camels each (as a reward).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ - الْمَعْنَى، - كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي جَيْشٍ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ وَانْبَعَثَتْ سَرِيَّةٌ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ فَكَانَ سُهْمَانُ الْجَيْشِ اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ بَعِيرًا وَنَفَّلَ أَهْلَ السَّرِيَّةِ بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا فَكَانَتْ سُهْمَانُهُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's generosity and appreciation for those who serve in his army. He sent an army towards Najd, and he gave them twelve camels each as their portion. However, he gave the detachment one additional camel as a reward for their service. This shows that the Prophet Muhammad was generous and appreciative of those who served him, and it teaches us to be generous with those who help us or serve us in any way. It also teaches us to be thankful for what we have been given, no matter how small it may be.
