No Booty on the Day of Conquest

SUMMARY: The Prophet and his companions did not take any booty when they conquered Makkah.

Wahb bin Munabbih said "I asked Jabir "Did they get any booty on the day of conquest (of Makkah)? He replied, No.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ - حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَقِيلِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا هَلْ غَنِمُوا يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ شَيْئًا قَالَ لاَ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of conquest of Makkah, Prophet Muhammad and his companions did not take any booty or spoils from the city. This is an example of their mercy and kindness towards those who had previously persecuted them. It also shows that even in victory they were humble and generous to those who had wronged them in the past. This teaches us to be forgiving even when we are victorious over our enemies or adversaries. We should always strive for justice but also show mercy whenever possible.

The Prophet's example here is a reminder that we should never seek revenge or retribution against those who have wronged us but instead forgive them if possible as this will bring about peace between all parties involved. Additionally, it serves as a reminder that we should always be humble in victory no matter how great our success may be as this will help us stay grounded and focused on what truly matters in life - helping others rather than seeking personal gain or glory for ourselves.
