The Difference Between the Fay' of Banu Nadir and the War Spoils of Khaybar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the spoils of Qurayzah, how could they be distributed when they are fay' (war spoils not taken by fighting), as indicated by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hashr 59:6]
The Shaykh:
He did not distribute the lands of Banu Nadir; he did not distribute them. Allah gave them to His Messenger, the one who distributed them, the ones Allah distributed, namely Khaybar, Khaybar, meaning the lands of Banu Nadir.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Or Allah came upon His Messenger from among them, meaning from the Banu Nadir,[Al-Hashr 59:6] that is for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for his emergencies. Then He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), said: [Al-Hashr 59:7] These are the spoils of war [Al-Hashr 59:7].
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the spoils of Qurayzah, how could they be distributed when they are fay' (war spoils not taken by fighting), as indicated by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or camels
فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍThe Shaykh:
He did not distribute the lands of Banu Nadir; he did not distribute them. Allah gave them to His Messenger, the one who distributed them, the ones Allah distributed, namely Khaybar, Khaybar, meaning the lands of Banu Nadir.

The Shaykh:
Or Allah came upon His Messenger from among them, meaning from the Banu Nadir,
you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or camels, but Allah gives His messengers power over whom He wills
فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَلِّطُ رُسُلَهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُAnd what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns
مَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰit is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler
فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ
