   • 7th century CE, Sunan Abī Dāwud, 1:36:

     ‏إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَأْخُذُ نِضْوَ أَخِيهِ عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُ النِّصْفَ مِمَّا يَغْنَمُ وَلَنَا النِّصْفُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا لَيَطِيرُ لَهُ النَّصْلُ وَٱلرِّيشُ وَلِلْآخَرِ الْقَدَحُ.‎‎

     ʾin kāna ʾaḥadunā fī zamani rasūli llāhi ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhi wasallama layaʾḵuḏu niḍwa ʾaḵīhi ʿalā ʾanna lahu n-niṣfa mimmā yaḡnamu walanā n-niṣfu waʾin kāna ʾaḥadunā layaṭīru lahu n-naṣlu war-rīšu walilʾāḵari l-qadaḥu.

     Any one of us would borrow a camel during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) from the other, on condition that he would give him half the booty, and the other half he would retain himself. Further, one of us received, so it flies, an arrowhead and a feather, and the other the arrow-shaft.
