مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَسۡرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يُثۡخِنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ

It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allāh's enemies] in the land. You [i.e., some Muslims] desire the commodities of this world,457 but Allāh desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Al-Mukhtasar

It should not be for a prophet to have prisoners among the disbelievers who fight against him until he kills many of them. Thus, the terror enters their hearts, so they do not return to fighting. By taking captives from Badr, O believers, you want to receive ransom, but Allah desires the Hereafter [for you], which is obtained by making religion victorious and powerful. Allah is Mighty in His essence, His attributes, and His domination. No one can overcome Him. He is Wise in His decree and sacred laws.
