The answer

The hadith indicates that embezzlement from war spoils is a major sin, and that such embezzlement prevents the embezzler from being called a martyr if he is killed. Ahl al-Sunnah (Sunnis) believe that a person who commits a major sin—but dies as a monotheist—is subject to Allah's will; He may punish him if He wishes, or pardon him if He wishes, and his ultimate destination is Paradise.
