Narrated Habib ibn Maslamah al-Fihri

Makhul said: I was a slave in Egypt belonging to a woman of Banu Hudhayl, and she emancipated me. I did not leave Egypt while there was any knowledge in it that I had not acquired, as I suppose. Then I came to the Hijaz, and I did not leave it while there was any knowledge in it that I had not acquired, as I suppose. Then I came to Iraq, and I did not leave it while there was any knowledge in it that I had not acquired, as I suppose. Then I came to al-Sham and searched through it, asking about the voluntary gift (nafl), but I did not find anyone who could tell me anything about it until I came to an old man called Ziyad ibn Jariyah al-Tamimi. I said to him: Did you hear anything regarding the voluntary gift (nafl)? He said: Yes, I heard Habib ibn Maslamah al-Fihri saying: I witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) award a fourth of the spoils as a voluntary gift at the outset, and a third upon the return.
