In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

They ask you about the spoils of war, say, “”The spoils of war are for Allah and the messenger.”” So fear Allah and set right matters between yourselves and obey Allah and His messenger if you are believers.

Believers are only those whose hearts (are filled with) fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His signs are read to them, it increases them (in) faith and they put their trust in their Fosterer,

who establish worship (salat) and spend from that which We have provided them,

those are the believers in truth, for them there are ranks with their Fosterer and protective forgiveness and an honoured provision.

And a party of the believers certainly disliked the manner in which your Fosterer made you to go out of your house in the (cause of) truth.

They disputed with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as if they were being driven towards death and they were seeing (it).

And (remember), when Allah promised you (to grant victory at Badr over) one of the two parties, (assuring) that it will be yours, then (at that time) you liked that the one without weapons should be yours while Allah intended to prove true the truth by His words and to cut off the root of the infidels,

that He might prove true the truth and falsify the falsehood though the criminals disliked.

When you sought help from your Fosterer, He responded to you (saying), “”I will certainly help you with one thousand of the angels following one another.””

And Allah did not make it (anything) but a good news, that your hearts might be at peace through it. And there is no help except (that) from Allah, Allah is certainly Mighty, Wise. (R 1)

When He covered you with drowsiness (to bestow on you) peace from Him, and He sent down on you water from the sky to clean you thereby and remove from you the weakening uneasiness (caused by) the devil and to strengthen your hearts and thereby make (your) feet firm,

at that time your Fosterer communicated to the angels, “”I am with you, so make firm those who believe, I will cast terror into the hearts of those who do not believe, then strike above their necks and strike off every fingertip from them.””

That was because they opposed Allah and His messenger, and whoever opposes Allah and His messenger, then Allah is certainly severe in requiting.

That is for you, so taste it, and (know) that the punishment of the fire is for the infidels.

O you who believe! when you meet those who do not believe, marching (against you) for war, then do not turn your backs to them,

and whoever turns his back on that day, unless (it be for) altering his position (as a strategy) for the war or to withdraw (to join his) group, then he indeed becomes deserving of the anger of Allah and his settling place is hell and it is an evil destination.

So you did not kill them but Allah killed them, and you did not throw when you threw but Allah threw, so that He might test the believers with a good test from Him, Allah is certainly Hearing, Knowing.

That is for you, and (know) that Allah is the Weakener of the plan of the infidels.

If you wanted a decision then the decision has come to you, and if you desist then it will be better for you and if you return then We (too) will return, and your group will not save you from anything though it may (consist of) many (people), because Allah is with the believers. (R 2)
