[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The spoils of war were not allowed for any people with black heads before you. Previously, fire used to descend from the sky and consume them. But on the day of Badr, people rushed to the spoils of war, so Allah revealed: "Had it not been for a Book from Allah that preceded, you would have been inflicted with a great punishment for what you took. So, eat from what you have taken of the spoils of war - lawful and good" [Surah Al-Anfal, verse 69].
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال 69]
