[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, he sent us in a group and mentioned the incident in which he said that the booty at that time belonged to the one who took it. Then he mentioned the incident of sending Abdullah ibn Jahsh al-Asadi as a leader, who was the first commander appointed in Islam. This indicates that it happened before the revelation of the verse regarding war spoils and booty.
