the two armies, or he said: the two ranks. When the two ranks met, or he said: the two armies, then it is a spoil.
It was narrated from Masruq that he said: There is no nafal (additional spoil) on the day of the clash.
[The eighth aspect]
Those who interpreted the verse to mean that the nafal is what the raiding parties (saraya) capture:
8765 - My father narrated to us, Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, al-Hasan ibn Salih narrated to us, from his father, from al-Sha'bi, regarding (the verse): "They ask you about the anfal (spoils of war)," he said: It is what the raiding parties (saraya) capture.
[The ninth aspect]
Those who interpreted the verse as being abrogated, as it was abrogated by: "And know that whatever thing you gain..." the verse.
8766 - My father narrated to us, Abu Salih, the scribe of al-Layth, narrated to us, Mu'awiyah ibn Salih narrated to me, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding His saying: "They ask you about the anfal. Say: The anfal are for Allah and the Messenger," he said: The anfal are the spoils of war that belonged solely to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); no one had any share in them. Whatever the raiding parties of the Muslims captured, they would bring it to him, and whoever held back even a needle or a thread from it, it would be ghulul (misappropriation). So they asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) to give them some of it. Allah the Almighty said: "They ask you about the anfal," meaning: regarding the kinship of the Prophet (peace be upon him). "Say: The anfal"—I have designated them for My Messenger; you have no part in them. "So fear Allah and settle your differences." Then He revealed: "And know that whatever thing you gain, then for Allah is its fifth and for the Messenger and for the near relatives..." the verse.
His saying the Almighty: "So fear Allah and settle..."
8767 - 'Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated to us, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and 'Umar ibn Salih al-Wasiti narrated to us, both said: 'Abbad ibn al-'Awwam narrated to us, from Sufyan ibn Husayn, from al-Hakam, from Mujahid, from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding his saying: "So fear Allah and settle your differences," he said: This is a strict command from Allah to the believers to fear Allah and to settle their differences.
His saying the Almighty: "And settle your differences"
8768 - My father narrated to us, al-Musayyab ibn Wadih narrated to us, Abu Ishaq narrated to us, from Sufyan, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah, from Sulayman ibn Musa, from Makhul, from Abu Salam, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and I witnessed Badr with him. We encountered the polytheists and Allah defeated the enemy. A group went off in their tracks, putting them to flight and killing them, while a group turned towards the camp, seizing and collecting it, and a group closed in around the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) so that the enemy would not strike him at an unguarded moment.
