It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever kills a disbeliever, then the belongings of the slain will go to the one who killed him." Sayyiduna Abu Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him, killed twenty men (disbelievers) on that day (in the Battle of Hunayn) and also took their belongings and possessions.

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I confronted a disbelieving man and killed him, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me his belongings.
