1557. 'Umayr, the freed slave of Ābil-Laḥm said: "I participated at Khaibar with my masters. They spoke about me to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him that I was a slave." He said: "So he ordered me to take up the sword, and I found myself dragging it, so he ordered that I be given something from the goods. I presented a Ruqyah that I used to treat the possessed with, so he ordered me leave some of it and keep some of it." [1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās.
This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. This is acted upon according to some of
the people of knowledge. A (complete) portion is not given to the slave, but something is conferred upon him. This is the view of Ath-Thawri, Ah-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
Regarding the share of a slave in the spoils of war, the view of most of the people of knowledge is the same as has been explained in the preceding narration about women. This narration also proves that treatment of a patient with Ruqya which is not against the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ is lawful.
