The spec file is not usually included in binary rpms so, technically,
you cannot "extract" it. However, it's quite trivial to rebuild it
using the output of rpm's query options, ie:
$ rpm -qpil --scripts --triggers /path/to/rpms/file.rpm
If the package is already installed, just remove 'p' from the first
parameter and use the package name instead of the full path name.
man rpm for more details.
PS. Why do you want to do that?
