(2). 3080. Ibn 'Abbās said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was finished at Badr, it was said to him: 'You have to get the caravan, you can not settle for less than that.' Al-'Abbās called out while he was bound up: 'There is no use.' He said: 'For Allāh, Most High, has promised you one of the two parties, and He gave you what He promised you.' He has said: 'He has said the truth.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
This Hadīth is an indication to the following Verse: "And remember when Allāh promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours; you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours." (Al-Anfāl 8:7). Now as you have been granted victory over the armed party instead of the unarmed; thus Allāh has fulfilled His promise, this is what He willed. Now if you would chase them after their defeat you might cause harm to yourselves.
