Brief Explanation
1؎: This reward was in the form of a nafl (supererogatory gift), and nafl refers to that reward which is given to a mujahid (fighter in the path of Allah) in excess of his share as a recompense for his performance and bravery. This sword originally belonged to ‘As bin Umayyah, which was used on the day of Badr. Then it came into the possession of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and he gave it to Ali (radi Allahu anhu), and this sword remained with him until his death.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Allah Almighty has designated one-fifth of the spoils of war (ghanimah) for Allah and His Messenger. (Surah Al-Anfal, verse: 41) In an Islamic government, this portion is deposited into the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) and spent on the collective needs of the Muslims.
➋ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to fulfill his personal expenses from the one-fifth share of the spoils (khums). Therefore, for the need of jihad, he also took a sword from the khums.
➌ This sword is called Dhu’l-Fiqar because it had some deep marks on it, similar to the vertebrae of the spine. (See: Al-Nihayah by Ibn Athir, under the root "faqar")
