What Has Been Related About The Spoils Of War

Narrated Abu Umamah:

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah has honored me over the (other) Prophets" - or he said: "My nation over the nations, and He has made the spoils of war lawful for us."

There are narrations on this topic from ‘Ali, Abu Dharr, ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr, Abu Musa, and Ibn ‘Abbas.

[Abu ‘Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Umamah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. They say that this Sayyar (a narrator) is Sayyar the freed slave of Banu Mu‘awiyah. Sulaiman At-Taimi, ‘Abdullah bin Bahir and others reported from him.

(Another chain) from Abu Hurairah who narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “I have been honored over the Prophets with six (things): I have been given Jawami Al-Kalam, I have been aided by fright, the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, the earth has been made as a Masjid and purifier for me, and I have been sent to all creatures, and with me Prophethood is sealed.”

This Hadith is Hasan Sahih
