What they said on one who makes use of weapons from the spoils

Abu al-Ashhab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him): "O Abu Sa'id! May a man who has no clothes wear clothing from the spoils? Or, if he is unarmed, may he take weapons?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "He may do so; then, when the spoils come to be divided, let him bring that item forward."

Waki' (may Allah have mercy on him) said that he heard Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) say: "When the Muslims obtain weapons and animals from the spoils, and they wish to make use of them and are in need of them, there is no harm in it, even if they have not sought permission from the commander."

Abu Ubaydah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "On the day of the Battle of Badr I reached Abu Jahl, the accursed, while his leg had been cut and he was half dead, and he was keeping people away from himself with his sword. I said: 'All praise is for Allah, who has disgraced and humiliated you, O enemy of Allah!' He said: 'Is he anything but a man killed by his own people?'" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I began to strike at him with a small sword of mine, and his hand was hit, and his sword fell. I took his sword and struck him with it until he grew cold."
