وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ: قُلْتُ: هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تُخَمِّسُونَ الطَّعَامَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: أَصَبْنَا طَعَامًا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ فَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ مقدارَ مَا يكفيهِ ثمَّ ينْصَرف. وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Muhammad ibn Abi al-Mujalid reported from ʿAbdullah ibn Abi Awfa: I asked, ‘Did you take a fifth from food in the time of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him)?’ He replied, ‘We obtained food on the day of Khaybar. A man would come, take enough of it for himself, then leave.’ Abu Dawud also narrated it.
