[for those who fought] for it. His saying: [{so that it does not become a distribution}]—meaning the fay'—[{among the wealthy among you}], so that the poor and the destitute do not have a right in it.

Muhammad said: "Dulatan" (distribution) comes from "tadawul" (circulation); meaning: the wealthy circulate it among themselves.

[{And whatever the Messenger has given you, take it}] was revealed regarding spoils of war, then it later became applicable to all matters of religion. He said: [{And whatever he has forbidden you}]—from ghulul (taking spoils of war before distribution)—[{refrain from it}], and it is also applicable to all matters of religion.
