War Booty

It is not for a prophet to betray trust.

3:161It is not for any prophet to embezzle. Whoso embezzleth will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be wronged.

And know that whatever spoils you gain, a fifth belongs to Allah, His Messenger, the needy, the orphans, the poor, and the traveller

8:41And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things.

So, consume what you have gained, lawful and good.

8:69Now enjoy what ye have won, as lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Those who stayed behind will say, when you set out to collect the spoils, “Let us follow you.” They want to change Allah’s words. Say: You will not follow us, Allah has already said so. Then they will say, “You’re just jealous of us.” No, they understand little.

48:15Those who were left behind will say, when ye set forth to capture booty: Let us go with you. They fain would change the verdict of Allah. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye shall not go with us. Thus hath Allah said beforehand. Then they will say: Ye are envious of us. Nay, but they understand not, save a little.

Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree. He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them with a near victory

48:18Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;

And abundant spoils they will soon take.

48:19And much booty that they will capture. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.

Allah has promised you many gains to come, and He has hastened this one for you, and withheld the hands of others from you, so that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you on a straight path.

48:20Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men's hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path.

And other gains you were not yet able to take, Allah has already encompassed them.

48:21And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it, Allah is Able to do all things.

If those who disbelieved had fought you, they would have turned and fled, finding no protector or helper.

48:22And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.

Such is Allah’s established way from before, and you will never find any change in Allah’s way.

48:23It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.
