Transliteration:( Zaalika bi annahum shaaaqqul laaha wa Rasoolah; wa mai yushaqiqil laaha wa Rasoolahoo fa innal laaha shadeedul 'iqaab )
29. This tells us that during a battle a believer should show anger at the infidel because the infidel is the enemy of Allah Almighty and His Beloved Rasool ? and not for any personal reasons. A war should not be for territorial gains but for the sake of religion. Battle for worldly gains is mischief. but for the sake of religion it is a Jihad.

The tafsir of Surah Al-Anfal verse 13 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Anfal ayat 11 which provides the complete commentary from verse 11 through 14.
(8:13) This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. Whoever defies Allah and His Messenger must know that Allah is severe in punishment.[11]
11. In recounting the events of the Battle of Badr, the Qur’an aims to explain the significance of the word al-anfal (spoils of war). In the opening verse of the surah the Muslims were told that they should not deem the spoils to be a reward for their toil. Rather, the spoils should constitute a special reward granted to the Muslims by God, to Whom the spoils rightfully belong. The events recounted here support this. The Muslims could reflect on the course of events and see for themselves to what extent the victory they had achieved was due to God’s favour, and to what extent it was due to their own efforts.
