Hazrat Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I asked Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) about Surah Anfal, so he replied that this Surah was revealed concerning us, the companions of Badr, when there was a difference of opinion among us regarding the distribution of the spoils of war, and our attitude in this regard was not appropriate. Therefore, Allah took it away from among us and gave the authority of its distribution to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it equally among the Muslims.
