Narrated Mujammi' ibn Jariyah al-Ansari: Mujammi' was one of the Quran-reciters (qaris), and he said: We were present with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) at al-Hudaybiyyah. When we returned, the people were driving their camels quickly. The people said to one another: What is the matter with them? They said: Revelation has come down to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). We also proceeded with the people, galloping (our camels). We found the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) standing on his riding-animal at Kura' al-Ghamim. When the people gathered near him, he recited: "Verily We have granted thee a manifest victory. A man asked: Is this a victory, Apostle of Allah? He replied: Yes. By Him in Whose hands the soul of Muhammad is, this is a victory. Khaybar was divided among those who had been at al-Hudaybiyyah, and the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) divided it into eighteen portions. The army consisted of one thousand five hundred men, of which three hundred were cavalry, and he gave two shares to a horseman and one to a foot-soldier.
