وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِنْ شَیْءٍ فَاَنَّ لِلّٰهِ خُمُسَهُ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِی الْقُرْبٰى وَالْیَتَامٰى وَالْمَسَاكٖینِ وَابْنِ السَّبٖیلِۙ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰى عَبْدِنَا یَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ یَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدٖیرٌ

Translations

And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah, over all things, is competent

Saheeh International

And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things
