(Bukhari, Muslim, Musnad Ahmad, Daud, Tirmadhi, Nasai and others). The detail of how the Prophet (peace be upon him) acted on this injunction has been related by Malik bin Aus bin al- Hadathan on the authority of Umar, thus: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to take from it necessary expenses for himself and his family and the rest he used to spend on arranging arms and conveyances for Jihad. The first share in these is of Allah and His Messenger. Now in this verse it is being stated as to who are entitled to have a share in these properties. In the preceding verse what was pointed out was why these properties should not be distributed among the fighting army like the spoils, and why the legal injunction concerning them is different from that concerning the spoils. And fear Allah: verily Allah is Most Stern in retribution. ![]() So accept whatever the Messenger gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you. (59:7) Whatever (from the possessions of the towns people) Allah has bestowed on His Messenger belongs to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to his kinsfolk, and to the orphans, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer so that it may not merely circulate between the rich among you.
