فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
So if you, [O Muhammad], gain dominance over them in war, disperse by [means of] them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideAl-Anfal is Medinan, with most of it revealed in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Badr (2 AH). It settles the dispute over the distribution of the spoils, interprets the course of the battle in the light of divine assistance, and lays down principles concerning the conduct of war.
