Booty was 'reserved' by Baal, or Allah, for his only apostle, the sainted Muhammad. Muhammad's family deity was Baal, whose shrine the slaves of Allah took care of [Muhammad Abdullah or slave of Allah or the Lord of Mecca or Baal]. The only man in history who was sanctioned by divine grace, to receive the plunder of war, was apparently Muhammad. He said so. On behalf of Baal his family's shrine. Makes sense right? Don't all prophets lead a Jihad, murder, plunder, pillage and cloak themselves in gold and silver?
Bukhari tells us:
4-351
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Booty has been made legal for me."
20% of all plunder was to be given to Allah and his 'apostle'. How convenient.
4-326
...Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a special favor of something of this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody else." 'Umar then recited the Holy Verses: "What Allah bestowed as (Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from them --- for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able to do all things." 9:6)
Allah guarantees Muhammad a share of the spoils.
4-327
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The delegates of the tribe of 'Abdul-Qais came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are from the tribe of Rabi'a, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. ..The Prophet said, "I order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: ...pay the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth) of the war booty to Allah.. (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1).
Muhammad of course would take his fair share of 'Allah's Booty'.
Nice cult Islam.
