Koran 2:217
Now that this verse had been revealed, the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) knew
that Abdullah and his men had been absolved and accepted a fifth of the spoils which
were then distributed as charity.
Abdullah and his companions asked the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), "May we

Koran 2:218
Blood money was paid to the father of Amr and the captives released. Othman returned
