1558. 'Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ advanced towards Badr till he reached Harrah Al-Wabr[1] where he was met by a man from the idolaters, about whom it was said he was brave and courageous. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Do you believe in Allāh and his Messenger?" He said: "No." He said: "Then return, because we do not seek aid from an idolater." (Sahih)
The Hadith has more dialogue than this. And this is a Hasan Gharib Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They say that the people of Adh-Dhimmah do not
receive a share, even if they were to fight along with the Muslims against the enemy.
Some of the people of knowledge said that they are given a share when they attend the battle with the Muslims. It has been related by Az-Zuhri, that the Prophet ﷺ gave a portion to some people among the Jews who fought along with him. This was narrated to us by Qutaibah (who said): "Abdul-Wāriḥ bin Sa'eed narrated to us from 'Urwah bin Thābit, from Az-Zuhri." [This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb].

Commentary
If any disbeliever takes part in the war on his own, he will be given something from the spoils. Imām Aḥmad, Al-Awzā'ī, Az-Zuhri, and Ishāq support this view. According to Imām Mālik, Abū Ḥanīfah and Ash-Shāfi'ī, a disbeliever will get no share from the spoils of war. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi v. 2. p.381. and Al-Mughnī v. 13 p.97-98.)
