Tafsir
Then Allah mentioned their surmise about the Prophet (pbuh) that he was not going to divide any of the booty among them, and because of this they left their positions, saying: (It is not for any Prophet) it is not permissible for any prophet (to deceive) to cheat his community regarding booty; it is also possible that the meaning is: it is not permissible for a community to deceive its prophet. (Whoso deceiveth) as regards any of the booty (will bring his deceit with him) carried on his neck (on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned) that which it has deceived and also other things; (and they will not be wronged) their good works will not be diminished and their evil deeds will not be increased.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
When some red velvet cloth went missing on the Day of Badr and some people began to say ‘Perhaps the Prophet took it’ the following was revealed It is not for a prophet to be fraudulent an yaghulla a variant reading has the passive an yughalla meaning to attribute ghulūl ‘fraud’ to him to be treacherous with regard to the spoils so do not presume this of him; whoever defrauds shall bring what he has defrauded on the Day of Resurrection carrying it around his neck; then every soul the fraudulent and the otherwise shall be paid in full the requital of what it has earned what it has done and they shall not be wronged a single thing.
