Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said, "The Prophet asked the people for their opinion about the prisoners of war of Badr, saying,«إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَمْكَنَكُمْ مِنْهُم»(Allah has made you prevail above them.) `Umar bin Al-Khattab stood up and said, `O Allah's Messenger! Cut off their necks,' but the Prophet turned away from him.
