8:41
وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَه ُُ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ إِنْ كُنتُمْ آمَنْتُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ قَدِير ٌ
Wa A`lamū 'Annamā Ghanimtum Min Shay'in Fa'anna Lillāhi Khumusahu Wa Lilrrasūli Wa Lidhī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Yatāmá Wa Al-Masākīni Wa Abni As-Sabīli 'In Kuntum 'Āmantum Billāhi Wa Mā 'Anzalnā `Alá `Abdinā Yawma Al-Furqāni Yawma At-Taqá Al-Jam`āni Wa Allāhu `Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīrun
And know that anything you profit, one-fifth shall go to God and the messenger, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer. You will do this if you believe in God and in what We revealed to Our servant on the Day of the Criterion, the day the two armies clashed; and God is capable of all things.
8:69
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلالا ً طَيِّبا ً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُور ٌ رَحِيم ٌ
Fakulū Mimmā Ghanimtum Ĥalālāan Ţayyibāan Wa Attaqū Allāha 'Inna Allāha Ghafūrun Raĥīmun
So consume what you have gained, lawful and good, and be aware of God. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُر ٍ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَا إِلاَّ مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَا أَوِ الْحَوَايَا أَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْم ٍ ذَلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُمْ بِبَغْيِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ
Wa `Alá Al-Ladhīna Hādū Ĥarramnā Kulla Dhī žufurin Wa Mina Al-Baqari Wa Al-Ghanami Ĥarramnā `Alayhim Shuĥūmahumā 'Illā Mā Ĥamalat žuhūruhumā 'Awi Al-Ĥawāyā 'Aw Mā Akhtalaţa Bi`ažmin Dhālika Jazaynāhum Bibaghyihim Wa 'Innā Laşādiqūna
And for those who are Jewish We have made unlawful all that have claws; and from the cattle and the sheep We made unlawful their fat except what is attached to the back, or entrails, or mixed with bone. That is a punishment for their rebellion, and We are truthful.
20:18
قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَى غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَى

He said: "It is my staff, I lean on it, and I guide my sheep with it, and I have other uses in it."
21:78
وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيه ِِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ

And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the crop that was damaged by the sheep of the people, and We were witness to their judgment.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنا ً تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَة ٌ كَذَلِكَ كُنتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرا ً
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū 'Idhā Đarabtum Fī Sabīli Allāhi Fatabayyanū Wa Lā Taqūlū Liman 'Alqá 'Ilaykumu As-Salāma Lasta Mu'umināan Tabtaghūna `AraĐa Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Fa`inda Allāhi Maghānimu Kathīratun Kadhālika Kuntum Min Qablu Famanna Allāhu `Alaykum Fatabayyanū 'Inna Allāha Kāna Bimā Ta`malūna Khabīrāan
O you who believe, if you go forth in the cause of God, you shall investigate carefully. And do not say to those who greet you with peace: "You are not a believer!" You are seeking the vanity of this world; but with God are many riches. That is how you were before, but God graced you, so investigate carefully. God is expert over what you do.
48:15
سَيَقُولُ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ إِذَا انطَلَقْتُمْ إِلَى مَغَانِمَ لِتَأْخُذُوهَا ذَرُونَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُبَدِّلُوا كَلاَمَ اللَّهِ قُلْ لَنْ تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذَلِكُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَا بَلْ كَانُوا لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلا ً
Sayaqūlu Al-Mukhallafūna 'Idhā Anţalaqtum 'Ilá Maghānima Lita'khudhūhā Dharūnā Nattabi`kum Yurīdūna 'An Yubaddilū Kalāma Allāhi Qul Lan Tattabi`ūnā Kadhālikum Qāla Allāhu Min Qablu Fasayaqūlūna Bal Taĥsudūnanā Bal Kānū Lā Yafqahūna 'Illā Qalīlāan
Those who lagged behind will say, when you venture out to collect the spoils: "Let us follow you!" They want to change the words of God. Say: "You will not follow us; this is what God has decreed beforehand." They will then say: "No, you are envious of us." Alas, they rarely understood anything.
48:19
وَمَغَانِمَ كَثِيرَة ً يَأْخُذُونَهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزاً حَكِيما ً
Wa Maghānima Kathīratan Ya'khudhūnahā Wa Kāna Allāhu `Azīzāan Ĥakīmāan
And abundant spoils that they will take. God is Noble, Wise.
48:20
وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ مَغَانِمَ كَثِيرَة ً تَأْخُذُونَهَا فَعَجَّلَ لَكُمْ هَذِه ِِ وَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَ النَّاسِ عَنْكُمْ وَلِتَكُونَ آيَة ً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ صِرَاطا ً مُسْتَقِيما ً
Wa`adakumu Allāhu Maghānima Kathīratan Ta'khudhūnahā Fa`ajjala Lakum Hadhihi Wa Kaffa 'Aydiya An-Nāsi `Ankum Wa Litakūna 'Āyatan Lilmu'uminīna Wa Yahdiyakum Şirāţāan Mustaqīmāan
God has promised you abundant spoils that you will take. Thus He has hastened this for you, and He has withheld the hands of the people against you; that it may be a sign for the believers, and that He may guide you to a straight path.
