(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ
عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ
مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ
سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ شَفَانِي اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفُ , 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 الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ سورة الأنفال آية 1 .
Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) once submitted in the court of the Messenger: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allah has saved me from the polytheists today, so please give me this sword. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “This sword is neither yours nor mine, so put it down here.” So I put the sword down and went back, and I began to think in my heart that perhaps the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give this sword to someone who had not faced a trial like mine. Meanwhile, I heard the voice of a man calling me from behind. I thought perhaps some command had been revealed about me? When I arrived there, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “You had asked me for this sword. Indeed, this sword was not mine, but now it has been given to me as a gift, so I give it to you.” After this, this verse was revealed: «﴿يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُولِ﴾ [الأنفال : 1]» O Beloved (peace and blessings be upon him)! “They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and His Messenger.”
