English translation

2737. It was reported from Khālid, from Dāwud, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "On the Day of Badr, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'A person who does this and that, will have a bonus of this and that.' So youth went ahead and the elders remained where the flag was, and they did not leave it. When Allāh granted them victory, the elders said: 'We were reinforcements for you people. If you were defeated you would have retreated to us, so do not take away all the spoils and leave us behind with nothing.' The youth refused, and said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has given it to us.' So Allāh, the Exalted, revealed: They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allāh and the Messenger..." up to His saying: "...As your Lord caused you to go out from your home with the truth; and verily, a party among the believers disliked it..."[1] He (Ibn 'Abbās) said: "(Meaning:) So that was better for them. — And similarly (it means) so you should obey Me, as I know the consequences of this better than you." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2737 - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ: «مَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَلَهُ مِنَ النَّفَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا». قَالَ: فَتَقَدَّمَ الْفِتْيَانُ وَلَزِمَ الْمَشْيَخَةُ الرَّايَاتِ فَلَمْ يَبْرَحُوهَا، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ الْمَشْيَخَةُ: كُنَّا رِدْءًا لَكُمْ لَوِ انْهَزَمْتُمْ لَفِئْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا، فَلَا تَذْهَبُوا بِالْمَغْنَمِ وَنَبْقَى، فَأَبَى الْفِتْيَانُ وَقَالُوا: جَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ} [الأنفال: 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {كَمَا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ، وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَكَارِهُونَ} [الأنفال: 5] يَقُولُ: «فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ، فَكَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا فَأَطِيعُونِي فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعَاقِبَةِ هَذَا مِنْكُمْ»
