Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And that which Allah gave as spoil unto His messenger from them) from Banu'l-Nadir, it is solely for the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and there is nothing in it for you, (ye urged not) you did not use (any horse or riding-camel for the sake thereof) but you walked to it, for it was very close to Medina, (but Allah giveth His messenger) Muhammad (pbuh) (lordship over whom He will) the Banu'l-Nadir. (Allah is Able to do all things) in terms of giving help and spoils.

And whatever spoils God has given to His Messenger from these you did not O Muslims spur for it any min is extra horses or camels that is to say you did not suffer any hardship in securing it but God gives His messengers sway over whomever He will and God has power over all things hence you have no right to any of this booty rather it is exclusively for the Prophet s and those of the four categories mentioned with him in the next verse to be dispensed in accordance with the way in which he used to divide it up such that each would receive a fifth of the fifth and the rest being the Prophet’s s for him to do with as he pleases — thus he gave of it to the Emigrants and three from among the Helpers on account of their poverty.
