1128 – Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “During our campaigns we would come across honey and grapes; we ate them and did not store any of them.” Al-Bukhari narrated it.

Abu Dāwūd’s version adds: “and no one-fifth was taken from them,” and Ibn Ḥibbān declared it sound.(1)

1129 – ʿAbd Allah ibn Abī Awfā (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “On the day of Khaybar we obtained some food. A man would come, take whatever would suffice him, and then depart.” Abu Dāwūd related it, and Ibn al-Jārūd and al-Ḥākim judged it authentic.(2)

Grading of the two reports

• The report of Ibn ʿUmar: the version recorded by Abu Dāwūd is ṣaḥīḥ; both Ibn Ḥibbān and al-Bayhaqī authenticated it, and al-Munḏirī voiced no objection.

• The report of ʿAbd Allah ibn Abī Awfā: it is authentic.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in al-Talkhīṣ: “It was transmitted by Abu Dāwūd, al-Ḥākim, and al-Bayhaqī,” and he adds here: “Ibn al-Jārūd and al-Ḥākim declared it sound.” The ḥadith also has numerous corroborating narrations of the same tenor, among them:

– What al-Ṭabarānī related from Ibn Abī Awfā: “No khums was levied on the food taken on the day of Khaybar.”

– What al-Ṭayālisī narrated in his Musnad with a sound chain—and the original form of it is found in the two Ṣaḥīḥs—from the report of ʿAbd Allah ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him): “I found a leather pouch of fat on the day of Khaybar. I looked back and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I felt shy before him, but he said, ‘It is yours.’”
