مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ اَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُٓ اَسْرٰى حَتّٰى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ تُر۪يدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ يُر۪يدُ الْاٰخِرَةَۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ ٦٧

English Translation
67It is not fitting for a prophet to take captives in battle until he has gained a crushing superiority over the enemy. You desire the goods and wealth of the passing world, whereas Allah wants you to win the Hereafter; for Allah is absolutely powerful and decides rightly in every judgment.
