Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Anfal 8:67

Word by word

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَسْرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يُثْخِنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allāh's enemies] in the land. You [i.e., some Muslims] desire the commodities of this world, but Allāh desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

قال الإمام أحمد : حدثنا علي بن عاصم ، عن حميد ، عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : استشار رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - الناس في الأسارى يوم بدر ، فقال : إن الله قد أمكنكم منهم ، فقام عمر بن الخطاب فقال : يا رسول الله ، اضرب أعناقهم . فأعرض عنه النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ثم عاد رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال : يا أيها الناس ، إن الله قد أمكنكم منهم ، وإنما هم إخوانكم بالأمس . فقام عمر فقال : يا رسول الله ، اضرب أعناقهم . فأعرض عنه النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ثم عاد النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال للناس مثل ذلك ، فقام أبو بكر الصديق - رضي الله عنه - فقال : يا رسول الله ، نرى أن تعفو عنهم ، وأن تقبل منهم الفداء . قال : فذهب عن وجه رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ما كان فيه من الغم ، فعفا عنهم ، وقبل منهم الفداء .
