[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The spoils of war were not allowed for any people with black heads before you. Previously, fire used to descend from the sky and consume them. But on the day of Badr, people rushed to the spoils of war, so Allah revealed: "Had it not been for a Book from Allah that preceded, you would have been inflicted with a great punishment for what you took. So, eat from what you have taken of the spoils of war - lawful and good" [Surah Al-Anfal, verse 69].  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال 69]  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "None of the black heads (meaning the Children of Adam since (most of) their heads are black) before you partook of spoils of war, but fire from the heavens would be sent down upon them, consuming them." Sulaiman (one of the narrators) said "No one says this except for Abu Hurairah now. "So on the day of Badr when they had the spoils of war before it was made lawful for them, Allah [Most High] revealed: Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3085)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِأَحَدٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ نَارٌ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ وَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} »  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The spoils of war were not lawful for any people before you who had black curly hair. When they would descend upon them, fire would consume them. But on the day of Badr, the people hastened in the spoils of war, so Allah sent down [the verse]: 'And indeed a book [i.e., decree] from Allah had come before [Badr] to prevent from a slaughtering of the believers. Until when you saw the spoils of war coming to you, you were greedy for them. And you remained with avarice for them.' [Al-Anfal: 68] until the end of the verse 'So consume what you have taken of war booty [as being] lawful and good.' [Al-Anfal: 69]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ} [الأنفال 68] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ {فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال 69]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The spoils of war were not permissible for a people with black heads before you. It used to be collected and then fire would descend from the sky and consume them. But on the day of Badr, the people were hasty in taking the spoils of war, so Allah revealed, 'Had it not been for a decree from Allah that had already gone forth, surely, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took.' [Quran 8:68] 'So eat of what you have gained of war booty, lawful and good.' [Quran 8:69] The wording is narrated by Abu Mu'awiyah, and in another narration by Mu'hadir, and it was when they were hasty in taking the spoils of war before it was made permissible for them. So Allah revealed this and added to it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّءُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَتْ تُجْمَعُ فَتَنْزِلُ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} [الأنفال 68] {فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال 69] لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَاضِرٍ وَأَنّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ أَغَارُوا فِيهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحِلَّ لَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَأُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ
