(17). 3009. Khuṣaif narrated from Miqṣam that Ibn 'Abbās said: "This Āyah: It is not for a Prophet to illegally take a part of the booty...[1] was revealed about a red robe that was missing from the Day of Badr. Some of the people said: 'Perhaps the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took it.' So Allāh, Blessed and Most High, revealed: It is not for a Prophet to illegally take a part of the booty... until the end of the Āyah." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. 'Abdus-Salām bin Harb reported it from Khuṣaif similarly. Some of them reported this Hadīth from Khuṣaif, from Miqṣam, without the mention of: "from Ibn 'Abbās" in it.

Commentary
Ghulūl means dishonesty, betrayal and disloyalty, which is contrary to sincerity. Sincerity is welfare and prosperity. The real aim of this is to make the Muslims fully aware of the Prophet's dignity, honor, trustworthiness and truthfulness. They must never think or imagine anything unsuitable and inappropriate towards the Prophet ﷺ because no Prophet is ever disloyal, unfaithful and dishonest with his people.
