[Machine] Regarding the spoils of war, Allah says, "They ask you [O Muhammad] about the spoils of war. Say, 'The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger.'" (Quran 8:1) The spoils of war were exclusively for the Prophet ﷺ ; no one else had a share in them. Whatever the Muslim armies gained from the enemy's fortresses and took as spoils, every needle, every string, anyone who kept even the smallest amount of it hidden was considered a thief. So they asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a share from the spoils. Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, then said, "They ask you [O Muhammad] about the spoils of war. Say, 'The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger.'" (Quran 8:1) They did not have any share in it. So, fear Allah and reconcile any disputes between yourselves. (Quran 8:1) Until His saying, "If you are believers." (Quran 2:91) Then Allah revealed, "And know that whatever you obtain of war booty - indeed, for Allah is one-fifth of it and for the Messenger..." (Quran 8:41) Then, Allah divided that one-fifth among the Messenger of Allah, his relatives, orphans, the poor, and those who strive in the cause of Allah. And He made four-fifths for distribution among the people equally, whether they are cavalry or infantry, by two arrows for each horseman and one arrow for his shield-carrier. This is how it is stated in the book, but it is a mistake. It is indeed the share of the traveler.
