4151. It was narrated that Yazīd bin Ash-Shikhkhīr said: “While I was with Muṭarrif in Al-Mirbad,[1] a man came in carrying a piece of leather and said: ‘This was written to me by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Is there anyone among you who can read?’ I said: ‘I can read.’ And it was (a letter) from Muḥammad the Prophet ﷺ to Banu Zuhair bin Uqaiṣ, who had testified to Lā ilāha illallāh, and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh, and had left the idolaters, and had agreed to give the Khumus from their spoils of war, and the share of the Prophet ﷺ, and whatever he chose for himself, so they became safe and secure by the covenant of Allāh and His Messenger.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The fact of the matter is that the Prophet’s ﷺ general and specific shares also were included in the one-fifth portion of the booty, although the outward phrasing makes these shares appear separate from the quint. It is, therefore, essential to keep other narrations in sight. (See Hadīth 4143-4144)
