مَا كَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَسْرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يُثْخِنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah 's enemies] in the land. Some Muslims desire the commodities of this world, but Allah desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
The captives of Badr and the question of ransom
67–69As narrated in Muslim, when seventy captives were taken at Badr, the Prophet consulted Abu Bakr and Umar. Abu Bakr, noting that the captives were kinsmen, proposed releasing them for ransom, while Umar opposed this. The Prophet chose ransom; the next day the verses came down, “It is not for a prophet to hold captives until he has thoroughly subdued the enemy in the land,” and when Umar arrived he found the Prophet and Abu Bakr weeping. The following verse then declared the ransom that had been taken lawful.

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.
