4147. It was narrated that ‘Aṭā’ said concerning the saying of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime: “And know that whatever of spoils of war that you may gain, verily, (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allāh, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives (of the Messenger (Muḥammad))”[1] “The Khumus (one-fifth) of Allāh and of His Messenger is the same. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to provide mounts (for Jihād) with it, and give some (to the poor), and distribute it however he wanted, and do with it whatever he wanted.” (Ḥasan)
