" Four verses of the Qur'an have been revealed about me. I found a sword (among the spoils of war). It was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He (my father) said: Messenger of Allah, bestow it upon me. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: Place it there. Then he (my father) stood up and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Place it from where you got it. (At this) he (my father) said again: Messenger of Allah, bestow it upon me Shall I be treated like one who has no share in (the booty)? The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him said: Place it from where you got it. At this was revealed the verse:" They ask thee about the spoils of war.... Say: The spoils of war are for Allah and the Messenger"  

مسلم:١٧٤٨bحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ أَصَبْتُ سَيْفًا فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَفِّلْنِيهِ فَقَالَ ضَعْهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَعْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ نَفِّلْنِيهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ضَعْهُ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَفِّلْنِيهِ أَأُجْعَلُ كَمَنْ لاَ غَنَاءَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَعْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ قُلِ الأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ}

[Machine] There were four verses revealed to me; I struck a sword on the day of Badr, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, allow me to benefit from it." He said, "Put it wherever you took it from." Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, allow me to benefit from it." He said, "Put it wherever you took it from." Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, allow me to benefit from it and make me like someone who has no wealth." He said, "Put it wherever you took it from." And the verse was revealed, "They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, 'The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger'" [Surah Anfal: 1] until the end of the verse.
