مَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَسْرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يُثْخِنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

EnglishSaheeh International
It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allāh's enemies] in the land. You [i.e., some Muslims] desire the commodities of this world, but Allāh desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

(விஷமங்கள் அடங்க) பூமியில் இரத்தத்தை ஓட்டாத வரையில் (விரோதிகளை உயிருடன்) சிறைபிடிப்பது எந்த நபிக்கும் தகுதியில்லை நீங்கள் இவ்வுலகத்தின் (நிலையில்லா) பொருள்களை விரும்புகிறீர்கள். அல்லாஹ்வோ மறுமையில் (உங்கள் நலத்தை) நாடுகிறான். அல்லாஹ் (ஆற்றலில்) மிகைத்தோனும், ஞானமுடையோனாகவும் இருக்கின்றான்.

මිහිතලයේ සතුරන් මර්දනය කරන තුරු යුද සිරකරුවන් තබා ගැනීම කිසිදු නබිවරයකුට (සුදුසු) නො වීය. නුඹලා මෙලොව සම්පත් අපේක්ෂා කරන්නෙහු ය. අල්ලාහ් මතු ලොව අපේක්ෂා කරයි. තවද අල්ලාහ් සර්ව බලධාරී ය; සියුම් ඥානී ය.

نبی کے ہاتھ میں قیدی نہیں چاہییں جب تک کہ ملک میں اچھی خونریزی کی جنگ نہ ہو جائے۔ تم تو دنیا کے مال چاہتے ہو اور اللہ کا اراده آخرت کا ہے اور اللہ زور آور باحکمت ہے۔

その地で完全に勝利を収めるまでは,捕虜を捕えることは,使徒にとって相応しくない。あなたがたは現世のはかない幸福を望むが,アッラーは(あなたがたのため)来世を望まれる。アッラーは偉力ならびなく英明であられる。

先知在大地上重惩敌人之前,不该有俘虏。你们欲得尘世的浮利,而真主愿你们得享后世的报酬。真主是万能的,是至睿的。

Tafsir of 8:67

Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said, "The Prophet asked the people for their opinion about the prisoners of war of Badr, saying, «إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَمْكَنَكُمْ مِنْهُم» (Allah has made you prevail above them.) `Umar bin Al-Khattab stood up and said, `O Allah's Messenger! Cut off their necks,' but the Prophet turned away from him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again asked, «يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَمْكَنَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ بِالْأَمْس» (O people! Allah has made you prevail over them, and only yesterday, they were your brothers.) `Umar again stood up and said, `O Allah's Messenger! Cut off their necks.' The Prophet ignored him and asked the same question again, and he repeated the same answer. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq stood up and said, `O Allah's Messenger! I think you should pardon them and set them free in return for ransom.' Thereupon the grief on the face of Allah's Messenger ﷺ vanished. He pardoned them and accepted ransom for their release.…
