[4557] 34 – ( … ) It was narrated from Mus'ab bin Sa'd that his father said: Four Verses were revealed concerning me: I acquired a sword (as booty) and brought it to the Prophet and said: 0 Messenger of Allah, grant it to me (as my share of the booty). He said: "Put it down." Then he got up and said: o Messenger of Allah, grant it to me. The Prophet said to him: "Put it back where you got it from." Then he stood up and said: Grant it to me, 0 Messenger of Allah. He said: "Put it down." He said: 0 Messenger of Allah, grant it to me. Shall I be treated like one who is of no use (in war)? The Prophet said to him: "Put it back where you got it from." Then this Verse was revealed: "They ask you (0 Muhammad ) about the spoils of war. Say: The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger" [Al- Anfâl 8:1].
