قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) السَّرِيَّةُ يَبْعَثُهَا الْإِمَامُ فَيُصِيبُونَ غَنَائِمَ كَيْفَ تُقْسَمُ قَالَ إِنْ قَاتَلُوا عَلَيْهَا مَعَ أَمِيرٍ أَمَّرَهُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا الْخُمُسُ لِلَّهِ وَ لِلرَّسُولِ وَ قُسِمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَخْمَاسٍ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا قَاتَلُوا عَلَيْهَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانَ كُلُّ مَا غَنِمُوا لِلْإِمَامِ يَجْعَلُهُ حَيْثُ أَحَبَّ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The battalion which the Imam<sup>asws</sup> sends, so they acquire war booty, would it be distributed?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If they fought over it with a commander whom the Imam<sup>asws</sup> appointed as a commander over them, one-fifth would be taken out from it for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and for the Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, and four-fifths would be distributed between them. And if they did not happen to have fought the Polytheists over it, everything which they have acquired would be for the Imam<sup>asws</sup>. He<sup>asws</sup> would make it to be wherever he<sup>asws</sup> likes to’.
