English translation

2740. It was reported from Muṣ'ab bin Sa'd, from his father: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the Day of Badr with a sword and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Indeed Allāh has healed my breast from the enemy today, so grant me this sword.' He said: 'This sword is neither mine, nor yours.' So I went away saying: 'Today this sword will be given to somebody who has not been put to trial like me.' Meanwhile a messenger came to me, and said: 'Respond (to the call).' I thought something had been revealed about me because of my speech. When I came, the Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'You asked me for this sword. It is neither mine, nor yours. Now Allāh has given it to me, hence it is yours.' Then he recited: They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allāh and the Messenger..." until the end of the Verse."[1] (Ṣāḥih) Abū Dāwūd said: Ibn Mas'ūd would recite it: "Yasa'lunakan-nafla (They ask you for a gift.)"

Arabic text

2740 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ بِسَيْفٍ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَفَى صَدْرِي الْيَوْمَ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ، فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ. قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ لَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لَكَ». فَذَهَبْتُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ يُعْطَاهُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبْلِ بَلَائِي، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا إِذْ جَاءَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ: «أَجِبْ». فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ بِكَلَامِي فَجِئْتُ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِي وَلَا لَكَ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَهُ لِي فَهُوَ لَكَ». ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: " {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ} [الأنفال: 1] " إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قِرَاءَةُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: «يَسْأَلُونَكَ النَّفْلَ»
