Transliteration:( Wa maghaanima kaseera tany yaakhuzoonahaa; wa kaanal laahu 'Azeezan Hakeemaa )
"And abundant [56] booties they took. And Allah is Dignified, Wise."
This verse refers to the war spoils (booty) gained after the victory of Khaybar, which came without hardship or great struggle. Allah Almighty granted this as a worldly reward to the participants of Bay’at al-Ridwan at Hudaibiyya.
From this, we understand:
Allah’s promise at Hudaibiyya was fulfilled soon after, reinforcing His truthfulness.
The booty at Khaybar was a sign of Allah’s favor, and the ease in achieving it reflected divine support.
Furthermore:
Just as the promise of material success was fulfilled, the promise of spiritual reward in the Hereafter is also assured for all those companions.
The worldly bounty was not only a reward but also a symbol of eternal favor, showing Allah’s wisdom and honor in granting success to His sincere servants.
The tafsir of Surah Fath verse 19 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fath ayat 18 which provides the complete commentary from verse 18 through 19.
(48:19) and with abundant spoils which they shall acquire.[34] Allah is Most Mighty, Most Wise.
34. The reference is to the conquest of Khaiber and its rich spoils and this verse expressly points out that Allah had reserved this reward only for those people who had taken part in the Baiat Ridwan; apart from them no one else was entitled to take part in the victory and have a share in the spoils. That is why when the Prophet (peace be upon him) marched out to attack Khaiber in Safar, A.H. 7, he took only those people with him. No doubt afterwards, he gave some of the spoils of Khaiber to those emigrants also who returned from Habash and to some companions from the Dus and Ashar tribes as well, but this was given either from Khums (one fifth of the spoils of war given into the public treasury), or with the approval of the companions who had taken the pledge of Ridwan; no one else was given any share of it.
