And what Allah restored [of property] to His Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or camels, but Allah gives His messengers power over whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.
Tafseer
{ وما أفاء } رد { الله على رسوله منهم فما أوجفتم } أسرعتم يا مسلمون { عليه من } زائدة { خيل ولا ركاب } إبل، أي لم تقاسوا فيه مشقة { ولكن الله يسلط رسله على من يشاء والله على كل شيءٍ قدير } فلا حق لكم فيه ويختص به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومن ذكر معه في الآية الثانية من الأصناف الأربعة على ما كان يقسمه من أن لكل منهم خمس الخمس وله صلى الله عليه وسلم الباقي يفعل فيه ما يشاء فأعطى منه المهاجرين وثلاثة من الأنصار لفقرهم .
{And what Allah has returned to His Messenger from them - you did not rush} you, O Muslims, {to it, of horses or camels} camels, meaning you did not suffer any hardship in it, {but Allah gives power to His messengers over whom He wills, and Allah has power over all things} so you have no right to it, and it is reserved for the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and those mentioned with him in the second verse from the four categories, based on what he divided, that each of them would have one-fifth of the fifth, and the remainder would be for him, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to do with as he wished, so he gave from it to the Muhajireen and three of the Ansar because of their poverty.
