Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2522)
It is established from this hadith that committing treachery (khiyanah) with war booty (mal-e-ghanīmah) is a very grave sin. Whoever receives war booty should gather every small and large item, even if it is just a thread or a needle, and must not commit any treachery whatsoever. Further details are forthcoming.
