Yet [remember:] whatever [spoils taken] from the enemy [Lit., "from them": i.e., from the Banu n-Nadir.] God has turned over to His Apostle, you did not have to spur horse or riding-camel for its sake: [I.e., "you did not have to fight for it, since the enemy surrendered without giving battle". The term fay (a noun derived  from the verb faa, "he returned (something)" or "turned [it] over") is applied in the Quran and the Traditions exclusively to war-gains - whether consisting of lands, or tribute, or indemnities - which are obtained, as a condition of peace, from an enemy who has laid down arms before actual fighting has taken place (Taj al-Arus).] but God gives His apostles mastery over whomever He wills - for God has the power to will anything.
