Hadith 8607

وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ شَفَانِي اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ لَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَا لِي ضَعْهُ قَالَ فَوَضَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ قُلْتُ عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطَى هَذَا السَّيْفُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبْلِ بَلَائِي قَالَ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَدْعُونِي مِنْ وَرَائِي قَالَ قُلْتُ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ قَالَ كُنْتَ سَأَلْتَنِي السَّيْفَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِي وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لِي فَهُوَ لَكَ قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ [سورة الأنفال: ١]
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says: O Messenger of Allah! Allah Almighty has granted me healing from the polytheists, so please grant me this sword. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This sword is neither yours nor mine; it is spoils of war, so put it down. I put it down and then returned, but I kept thinking that perhaps this sword would be given to someone who could not display valor like mine. Meanwhile, someone called me from behind. I thought that something had been revealed about me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You had asked me for the sword, but it was not mine. Now it has been given to me as a gift, so now it is yours. This verse was revealed: {یَسْأَلُونَکَ عَنْ الْأَ نْفَالِ قُلْ الْأَ نْفَالُ لِلَّہِ وَالرَّسُولِ}
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ قُتِلَ أَخِي عُمَيْرٌ وَقَتَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفَهُ وَكَانَ يُسَمَّى ذَا الْكَتِيفَةِ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاطْرَحْهُ فِي الْقَبَضِ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَبِي مَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِنْ قَتْلِ أَخِي وَأَخْذِ سَلَبِي قَالَ فَمَا جَاوَزْتُ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ الْأَنْفَالِ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ سَيْفَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of Badr, when my brother Umair was killed and I killed Sa’id bin ‘As and took hold of his sword, the name of that sword was Dhu al-Katifah. I brought that sword to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to me: Put it in the spoils of war. So I returned, but I was grieved at the killing of my brother, only Allah knew it, and the property I had taken from my opponent was also taken by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I had only gone a little further when Surah Al-Anfal was revealed, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Sa’d, go and take your sword.
