وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِمَنْ قَبْلَنَا ، ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ رَأَى ضَعْفَنَا وَعَجَزَنَا ، فَطَيَّبَهَا لَنَا " .
And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was not made lawful for anyone before us to use the spoils of war, but when Allah saw our weakness and humility, He made it lawful for us.
