Mus’ab bin Sa’d reported on the authority of his father (Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas) “I brought a sword to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of the Badr and I said (to him) Apostle of Allaah ﷺ , Allaah has healed up my breast from the enemy today, so give me this sword. He said “This sword is neither mine nor yours. I then went away saying “today this will be given to a man who has not been put to trial like me. Meanwhile a messenger and came to me and said “Respond, I thought something was revealed about me owing to my speech. I came and the Prophet ﷺ said to me “You asked me for this sword, but this was neither mine nor yours. Now Allaah has given it to me, hence it is yours. He then recited “they ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say “(Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allaah and the Apostle. Abu Dawud said “According to the reading of the Qur’an of Ibn Mas’ud the verse goes. They ask thee concerning (things taken as ) spoils of war.  

جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِي ﷺ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ بِسَيْفٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَفَى صَدْرِي الْيَوْمَ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ لَيْسَ لِي وَلاَ لَكَ فَذَهَبْتُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ يُعْطَاهُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبْلِ بَلاَئِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا إِذْ جَاءَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ أَجِبْ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَىْءٌ بِكَلاَمِي فَجِئْتُ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِي وَلاَ لَكَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَهُ لِي فَهُوَ لَكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ } إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

from his father who said: "On the Day of Badr I brought a sword so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Allah has satisfied my breast (i.e. my desire) on the idolaters - or something like that - give me this sword.' So he said: 'This is not for me, nor is it for you.' I said: 'Perhaps he will give this to someone who did not go through some struggle I went through (fighting).' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me [and he said:] 'You asked me, but it was not up to me. But now it has occurred that it is up to me, so it is yours.'" He said: "So (the following) was revealed: They ask you about the spoils of war (8:1)."  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ جِئْتُ بِسَيْفٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَفَى صَدْرِي مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا هَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ فَقَالَ هَذَا لَيْسَ لِي وَلاَ لَكَ فَقُلْتُ عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطَى هَذَا مَنْ لاَ يُبْلِي بَلاَئِي فَجَاءَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي وَلَيْسَ لِي وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي وَهُوَ لَكَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ ( يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ ) الآيَةَ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Allah has cured me today from the polytheists, so grant me this sword." He said, "This sword is not for you or me, put it down." He said, "So I put it down and then I said, perhaps this sword will be given today to one who has not gone through my hardship." He said, "Then a man called me from behind and said, 'Have you received anything?' I said, 'Has something been sent down to me?' He said, 'You asked about the sword and it is not for me, indeed it has been given to you, so it is yours.' He said, 'Then this verse was revealed: 'They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, "The spoils of war are for Allah and the Messenger."' (Surah Al-Anfal, 8:1)"  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ شَفَانِي اللهُ الْيَوْمَ مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ فَهَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ لَيْسَ لَكَ وَلا لِي ضَعْهُ قَالَ فَوَضَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ قُلْتُ عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطَى هَذَا السَّيْفُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُبْلِ بَلائِي قَالَ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَدْعُونِي مِنْ وَرَائِي قَالَ قُلْتُ قَدِ أنْزِلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ كُنْتَ سَأَلْتَنِي السَّيْفَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِي وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لِي فَهُوَ لَكَ قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِالْأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ} [الأنفال 1]
