The answer

Surat Al-Anfal is Medinan by the consensus of scholars, and it was revealed during the Battle of Badr in the second year of the Hijra. Al-Anfal and An-Nafl (plural and singular) in the language mean an increase. The spoils of war seized by the mujahideen are called nafl because they are an increase in their rewards and because they were made lawful for this nation, unlike previous nations.
