Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3613 — Surah al-Anfal

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، ثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَأَبِي سَوْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَنَصَرَهَا اللهُ تَعَالَى وَفَتَحَ عَلَيْهَا ، وَكَانَ مَنْ أَتَاهُ بِشَيْءٍ نَفَلَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْخُمُسِ ، فَرَجَعَ رِجَالٌ وَكَانُوا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ، وَيَأْسِرُونَ ، وَيَقْتُلُونَ ، وَتَرَكُوا الْغَنَائِمَ خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَنَالُوا مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ خَلْفَهُمْ ، وَلَمْ يَنَالُوا مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ مِنَّا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ، وَيَأْسِرُونَ ، وَتَخَلَّفَ رِجَالٌ لَمْ يَصِلُوا بِالْقِتَالِ ، فَنَفَلْتَهُمْ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ ؟ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ : يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلهِ وَالرَّسُولِ فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ
فَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : " رُدُّوا مَا أَخَذْتُمْ ، وَاقْسِمُوهُ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالسَّوِيَّةِ " فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَدْ أَنْفَقْنَا وَأَكَلْنَا . قَالَ : " فَاحْتَسِبُوا بِذَلِكَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a detachment, and Allah Almighty granted it help and it was given victory. It was his (peace and blessings be upon him) practice that whichever fighter brought something, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give it to him as a reward (nafl) after taking out the khumus (one-fifth). Then some men returned who had been at the very front of the battlefield; they had taken enemies captive and killed them, but they had left the spoils behind them and had not obtained anything of that wealth. They said to the Messenger of Allah: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the matter with those of us who went forward and took captives (and exerted themselves), while some people stayed behind who could not take part in the fighting, yet you gave them a reward from the spoils?" On hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent until Jibril (peace be upon him) came down with this verse: "They ask you about al-anfal (the spoils of war). Say: The spoils belong to Allah and the Messenger, so fear Allah and set right the relations between yourselves" [Surah al-Anfal: 1].
After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned them and said to them: "Return what you have taken (as a reward), and divide it among yourselves with justice and equality." They said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have already spent it and eaten it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then count that as something for which you hope for reward from Allah (ihtisab)."
