Edited sentence: For the Muslims, the battle was a significant setback: although they had been close to routing the Meccans a second time, their breach of Muhammad's orders reaped severe consequences.Now, if some one thinks otherwise then he/she must bring proper references and details of that account.Some say that it was done "in favor of collecting Meccan spoils" or to say that they were worried about few spoils, more than their own and of Prophet's lives, is a notion which needs a serious revisit, and it needs proper references from the dialogue occurred amongst those companions or archers, and from other events happened there.The basic error was that they assumed, as the Meccans had fled, that there was no need of waiting there anymore, and they (not all as some stayed at their positions), showed little impatience, to join the rejoice of victory (and not just for fearing that they would be deprived of the booty if they stayed there), which was their serious mistake, and a kind of an act of going against the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad (S).We do not see in history, any body charged or punished with this blame.We see that these events have been mentioned in Quran in verses 3:121 to 126 and also in 3:152 to 158 and any use of words of Spoils or Booty, we see in interpretations not in the actual word of Quran
