Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ، كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا " فَلَمَّا كَانَ (١) يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {، ، لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال: ٦٩] (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: For any people with black hair before you, the spoils of war were not made lawful; rather, a fire would descend from the sky and consume all of the spoils. When the Battle of Badr took place, people began to hasten in acquiring the spoils of war. Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: "If Allah had not already decreed a decision, a great punishment would have touched you for what you took of the spoils." Now, whatever spoils you have acquired, consume them as lawful and pure.
