حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ جِئْتُ بِسَيْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَفَى صَدْرِي مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَبْ لِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لَكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ عَسَى أَنْ يُعْطَى هَذَا مَنْ لَا يُبْلِي بَلَائِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي وَلِيس لِي وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ صَارَ لِي وَهُوَ لَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَنَزَلَتْ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ سورة الأنفال آية 1 ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ رَوَاه سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُصْعَبٍ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَيْضًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِي الْبَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ.

Narrated Mus'ab bin Sa'd: from his father who said: On the Day of Badr I brought a sword so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Allah has satisfied my breast (i.e. my desire) on the idolaters - or something like that - give me this sword.' So he said: 'This is not for me, nor is it for you.' I said: 'Perhaps he will give this to someone who did not go through some struggle I went through (fighting).' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me [and he said:] 'You asked me, but it was not up to me. But now it has occurred that it is up to me, so it is yours.' He said: So (the following) was revealed: They ask you about the spoils of war (8:1).
