English translation
2736. It was reported from ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Yazīd Al-Anšārī, from his paternal uncle, Mujammī’ bin Jāriyah Al-Anšārī — he was one of the Qur’ān reciters — who said: “We were present with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at Al-Hudaibiyyah. When we started returning to Al-Madīnah people were driving their camels quickly. Some people said to others: ‘What is the matter with the people?’ They said: ‘Revelation has come down to the Prophet ﷺ.’ So we went out with the people hastily, and we saw the Prophet ﷺ standing on his mount at Kurā’ Al-Ghaim. When the people gathered around him, he recited: Verily, We have given you a manifest victory.[1] A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! Is it really a victory?’ He said: ‘Yes, by Him in whose Hand Muḥammad’s soul is! Indeed it is a victory.’ Later on the spoils of Khaibar were distributed among those who had been at Al-Hudaibiyyah. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ divided it into eighteen shares. The army consisted of one-thousand and five hundred, of which, three hundred were cavalry. He gave two shares to a horsemen and one share to a foot soldier.’” (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Mu'āwiyah[1] is more correct and it is the one that is acted upon. I think there is an error in the Hadīth of Mujammī', as he said: "Three hundred horsemen," while they were only two hundred.
