وإن خرج الرجل أو الرجلان من مثل هذه المدائن بغير إذن الإمام فأصاب غنيمة لم يكن فيها خمس وكانت كلها له وإن كانت جارية لم يطأها حتى يخرجها

كتاب السير الصغير للشيباني ٦٤

If one or two men come out from cities like these without permission from the leader [imam], and come upon some spoils, a fifth portion [khums] does not have to be taken, and he may have all of it. If there is a servant girl, he is not to have sex with her until he brings her out.

Al-Shaybani, Kitab Al-siyar Al-saghir [The Lesser Book on Campaigns], item 64
