حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَهِدْتُ مَعَهُ بَدْرًا، فَالْتَقَى النَّاسُ فَهَزَمَ اللهُ الْعَدُوَّ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ طَائِفَةٌ فِي آثَارِهِمْ يَهْزِمُونَ وَيَقْتُلُونَ، وَأَكَبَّتْ طَائِفَةٌ عَلَى الْعَسْكَرِ يَحْوُونَهُ وَيَجْمَعُونَهُ، وَأَحْدَقَتْ طَائِفَةٌ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُصِيبُ الْعَدُوُّ مِنْهُ غِرَّةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ، وَفَاءَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ جَمَعُوا الْغَنَائِمَ: نَحْنُ حَوَيْنَاهَا وَجَمَعْنَاهَا فَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ فِيهَا نَصِيبٌ. وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا فِي طَلَبِ الْعَدُوِّ: لَسْتُمْ بِأَحَقَّ بِهَا، ، مِنَّا نَحْنُ نَفَيْنَا عَنْهَا الْعَدُوَّ وَهَزَمْنَاهُمْ. وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَحْدَقُوا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَسْتُمْ بِأَحَقَّ بِهَا مِنَّا نَحْنُ أَحْدَقْنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَخِفْنَا أَنْ يُصِيبَ الْعَدُوُّ مِنْهُ غِرَّةً وَاشْتَغَلْنَا بِهِ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ، فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ} [الأنفال: ١] فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فَوَاقٍ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَغَارَ فِي أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ نَفَلَ الرُّبُعَ، وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ رَاجِعًا وَكُلَّ النَّاسِ نَفَلَ الثُّلُثَ، وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ الْأَنْفَالَ وَيَقُولُ: " لِيَرُدَّ قَوِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى ضَعِيفِهِمْ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that we set out with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I participated in the Battle of Badr. When the two parties confronted each other, Allah caused the enemy to be defeated. A group of Muslims pursued them, defeating and killing them, while another group turned towards their camps and began collecting the spoils of war, and a third group remained to protect the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) so that the enemy would not suddenly attack and harm him. When night fell and people began to return, those who had collected the spoils said, "We have gathered this, so no one else has a share in it." Those who had gone in pursuit of the enemy said, "You have no more right to it than us; we drove the enemy away and defeated them." Those who protected the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have no more right to it than us; we protected the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) because we feared that the enemy might suddenly attack him by deception while we were negligent." Upon this, the verse was revealed: "They ask you about the spoils of war..." Thus, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) distributed it equally among all the Muslims. And it was the practice of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) that when he attacked the enemy's territory, he would give a quarter as a reward, and when returning from there, he would distribute a third as a reward among all the people. Apart from this, he considered extra spoils inappropriate and said that the strong Muslim should help the weak.
