Sahih al-Bukhari #3008
One-fifth of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to me), "If the property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so
much and so much." But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet (ﷺ) had died. When the
Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, "Any person who has money claim
on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) or whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had promised something, should come to us." So, I went
to him and said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had promised to give me so much an so much." Abu Bakr scooped
up money with both hands thrice for me." (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated this action by scooping
up with both hands and said, "Ibn Munkadir, another sub-narrator, used to illustrate it in this way.")
Narrated Jabir: Once I went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I went
to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time and said, "I asked you, but
you did not give me; then I asked you (for the second time) and you did not give me; then I asked you
(for the third time) but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be
considered a miser regarding my case." Abu Bakr said, "You tell me that I am a miser with regard to
you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I had the inclination to give you."
(In another narration Jabir added:) So, Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and asked
me to count it. I found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that amount.

And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler - so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن يَغُلَّ ۚ وَمَن يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
It is not [attributable] to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully [in regard to war booty]. And whoever betrays, [taking unlawfully], will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be [fully] compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.
