The reciter: And Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, and Abu 'Uwanah narrated to us from Simak from Mus'ab ibn Sa'd from his father, who said: أخذ أبي من الخمس سيفا، فأتى به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال : هب لي هذا ، فأبى ، فأنزل الله عز وجل : يسألونك عن الأنفال قل الأنفال لله والرسول My father took a sword from the khums (fifth of war spoils) and brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Give me this as a gift," but he refused. So Allah the Exalted revealed: "They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger.".
