الْأَنفَالِ
قُلِ
الْأَنفَالُ
لِلَّهِ
وَالرَّسُولِ
فَاتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
وَأَصْلِحُوا
ذَاتَ
بَيْنِكُمْ
وَأَطِيعُوا
اللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُ
إِن
كُنتُم
مُّؤْمِنِينَ

They ask you concerning the anfaal. Say, ‘The anfaal belong to Allah and the Apostle.’ So be wary of Allah and settle your differences, and obey Allah and His Apostle, should you be faithful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe."
