حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعَ حَفْصَ بْنَ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ أَنِ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَسَمَ لَنَا، وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لأَحَدٍ لَمْ يَشْهَدِ الْفَتْحَ غَيْرَنَا.
Abu Musa Narrated from:
We came upon the Prophet (ﷺ) after he had conquered Khaibar. He then gave us a share (from the booty), but apart from us he did not give to anybody else who did not attend the Conquest.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4233
This Khaibar booty hadith says that Abu Musa and his group came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم after Khaibar had been conquered. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave them a share, while he did not give anyone else who had not attended the conquest, apart from them. The text is about a special distribution decision connected to this group. It should not be stretched into a general rule without evidence from other reports. For readers searching Abu Musa Khaibar booty share, the key point is that their case was treated differently from others who had not been present. The narration does not explain every reason in this wording, but it clearly records the outcome. The teaching is that distribution was handled by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with knowledge of each case.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave Abu Musa's group a share after Khaibar.
- Others who did not attend the conquest were not given, apart from this group.
- The text shows a specific case and should not be expanded beyond its wording.
