Chapter on Spoils Specially Belonging to the Imam (Anfal)

And from him, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: He (narrator) heard Imam عليه السلام saying: "Indeed, the spoils (anfal) are whatever land there was in which there was no spilling of blood, or a people who made settlement and gave with their own hands. So whatever was from ruined land, or the interiors of valleys, then all of this is from fay'. And the spoils (anfal) belong to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So whatever belongs to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, then it belongs to the blessed Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم; The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم places it wherever He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم desires."
