Saad said, "Four verses were revealed concerning me. I had taken a sword, so I brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Messenger of Allah, award this to me as my share of the spoils.'He said, "Put it down."Then Saad stood up again, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Put it back where you took it from."Then he stood up once more and said, "Award it to me, Messenger of Allah."He said, "Put it down."So he stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, award it to me. Am I to be treated like a man who is of no use?"The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Put it back where you took it from."Saad said, "Then this verse was revealed, 'They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, the spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger'" [Anfal 8:1].
نزلت في أربع آيات أصبت سيفا، فأتى به النبي ﷺ، فقال: يا رسول الله، نفلنيه. فقال: ضعه. ثم قام، فقال له النبي ﷺ: ضعه من حيث أخذته. ثم قام، فقال: نفلنيه يا رسول الله. فقال: ضعه. فقام، فقال: يا رسول الله نفلنيه أأجعل كمن لا غناء له؟ فقال له النبي ﷺ: ضعه من حيث أخذته. قال: فنزلت هذه الآية {يسألونك عن الأنفال قل الأنفال لله والرسول}
