2852 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَفَّلَ فِي الْبَدْأَةِ الرُّبُعَ، وَفِي الرَّجْعَةِ الثُّلُثَ»

Commentary
The Hadith indicates that if a group of soldiers carries out an extraordinarily courageous operation at the beginning of the war; for example, they take the initiative of attacking the enemies and capture booty, then one fourth of that booty is granted to them as reward. If any group performs such a tremendous act while the army is returning, then one third of that booty is granted to them.
