LessonsZuhayr ibn Abī Sulmā: Reconciling ʿAbs and Dhubyān, Honoring Peacemakers and Keeping Covenants (Verses 16–27)Quiz

فَأَصْبَحَ يَجْرِي فِيهِمْ مِنْ تِلَادِكُمْ ۞ مَغَانِمُ شَتَّى مِنْ إِفَالٍ مُزَنَّمِ
Meaning: So from your inherited wealth, many varied gifts passed among them, including marked young camels.

Tilādikum indicates inherited or long-held family property. Maghānim shattā here denotes varied gifts or transfers of wealth, not necessarily spoils taken in a new battle.

Ifāl refers to young camels, and muzannam to a marking or tag, such as at an ear, by which animals are identified. This concrete detail shows the peacemakers using substantial inherited livestock to meet the costs of reconciliation.
