whatever god has given to his messenger as spoils from them is by his grace you spurred neither horse nor camel for them but god gives power to his messengers over anyone he wills. god has power over all things whatever gains god has assigned to his messenger from the inhabitants of the town is for god and for the messenger and for his kinsfolk and for orphans and the needy and the wayfarer so that they may not become the property of those of you who are rich. whatever the messenger gives you take it and whatever he forbids you abstain from it. fear god surely god is severe in retribution.
وما أفاء الله على رسوله منهم فما أوجفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركاب ولكن الله يسلط رسله على من يشاء والله على كل شيء قدير ما أفاء الله على رسوله من أهل القرى فلله وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل كي لا يكون دولة بين الأغنياء منكم وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب
