Commentary
On the occasion of the Battle of Badr, Ruqayyah, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ who was the wife of 'Uthmān, may Allāh be pleased with them both, was critically ill, and the Prophet ﷺ had detailed him to attend to Ruqayyah. The incident proves that if a person is prevented from participating in a battle due to some duty assigned to him, he shall also be granted his share of the spoils.
