Does taking war spoils reduce the reward of the mujahid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do you reconcile what is reported in the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "and he will have what he has taken"
reward or spoils of warمن أجر أو غنيمة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3126Sahih (Darussalam)
, with the hadith that says, "If the mujahid takes the war spoils, two-thirds of his reward are gone"?

Answer:
This refers to what he has taken of reward or war spoils, or the "wa" (and) means that he has taken both reward and war spoils; Allah combines for him both the reward and the war spoils.
