Commentary
1. Zubair was related to the Prophet ﷺ from the side of his paternal aunt. The Divine law had earmarked a rightful share for the members of the Prophet's ﷺ household in the Khumus. This Khumus or a fifth part was taken from the spoils of war.
2. The majority of the people of knowledge maintain that a horse would receive two shares from the spoils of war. In other words, a rider would get three shares, whereas a footman would receive one.
