[Machine] On the day of Badr, people were divided into three groups: one third were fighting the enemy, one third were gathering spoils and taking prisoners, and one third were guarding the messenger of Allah. When they gathered the spoils, they disagreed among themselves. Those who gathered them and took them said, "The messenger of Allah has given each of us what we have acquired, so it belongs to us and not to you." Those who were fighting the enemy and seeking them said, "By Allah, if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't have acquired anything. We occupied the enemy, and the guards said, "By Allah, you are not more deserving of it than us. We saw that we should fight the enemy when Allah gave us their backs and take the spoils when no one was preventing us. But we feared the enemy's surprise attack on the messenger of Allah, so we stayed with him." Allah took the spoils from our hands and gave them to the messenger of Allah. He distributed them equally, and there was no fifth share on that day. It was a day of God-consciousness, obedience to Allah and His messenger, and reconciliation among people.
فِينَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَنَازِلٍ ثُلُثٌ يُقَاتِلُ الْعَدُوَّ وَثُلُثٌ يَجْمَعُ الْمَتَاعَ وَيَأْخُذُ الْأُسَارَى وَثُلُثٌ عِنْدَ الْخَيْمَةِ يَحْرُسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَمَعَ الْمَتَاعَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ جَمَعُوهُ وَأَخْذُوهُ قَدْ نَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ مِنَّا مَا أَصَابَ فَهُوَ لَنَا دُونَكُمْ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ الْعَدُوَّ وَيَطْلُبُونَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا نَحْنُ مَا أَصَبْتُمُوهُ فَنَحْنُ شَغَلْنَا الْقَوْمَ وَقَالَ الْحَرَسُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنَّا لَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا أَنْ نُقَاتِلَ الْعَدُوَّ حِينَ مَنَحَنَا اللَّهُ أَكْتَافَهُمْ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ الْمَتَاعَ حِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَمْنَعُ دُونَهُ وَلَكِنَّا خِفْنَا غِرَّةَ الْعَدُوَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُمْنَا دُونَهُ قَالَ فَانْتَزَعَهَا اللَّهُ مِنْ أَيْدِينَا فَجَعَلَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَقَسَمَهُ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خُمُسٌ فَكَانَ فِيهِ تَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَطَاعَتُهُ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَصَلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ»
