بَابُ غَزْوَةِ الطَّائِفِ بِسَبَبٍ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهَا وَتَحَصَّنَ بِهَا مِنْ مُشْرِكِي غَزْوَةِ حُنَيْنٍChapter on the Battle of al-Ta’if Due to Those Who Sought Refuge There and Fortified Themselves from the Polytheists of Hunayn

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدَانِ فَأَعْتَقَهُمَا أَحَدُهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْتِقُ الْعَبِيدَ إِذَا خَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) besieged the people of Ta’if, two slaves from among them joined the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One of them was named Abu Bakrah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set both of them free. It was the blessed habit of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever a slave from the enemy’s side joined him, he would set him free.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The reason for the kunyah of Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah radi Allahu anhu is that he climbed down from the wall of a fort by hanging onto a pulley, which is used to draw water from a well, and in Arabic, a pulley is called "bakrah." Therefore, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave him the kunyah Abu Bakrah.
