Arabic text

2836 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، وَعِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «بَارَزْتُ رَجُلًا فَقَتَلْتُهُ، فَنَفَّلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَلَبَهُ»

Commentary

Spoils here means the personal belongings of a person killed in battle, such as his clothes, sword, etc. The Muslim fighter who kills a disbeliever has the right to take them. Other than spoils, all the booty is the common property of all the Muslim fighters. Every Muslim fighter can take only what is allocated to him when it is distributed.
