Hadith 10920

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ حِينَ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ مُسْلِمِينَ فَسَأَلُوا أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَسَبْيَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعِي مَنْ تَرَوْنَ وَأَحَبُّ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَيَّ أَصْدَقُهُ فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ إِمَّا السَّبْيُ وَإِمَّا الْمَالُ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ اسْتَأْنَيْتُ بِكُمْ وَكَانَ أَنْظَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرُ رَادٍّ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نَخْتَارُ سَبْيَنَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ قَدْ جَاءُوا تَائِبِينَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ سَبْيَهُمْ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطَيِّبَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى حَظِّهِ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا يُفِيئُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ قَدْ طَيَّبْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَنْ أَذِنَ مِنْكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ فَارْجِعُوا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْنَا عُرَفَاؤُكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ فَجَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ عُرَفَاؤُهُمْ ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ طَيَّبُوا وَأَذِنُوا هَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سَبْيِ هَوَازِنَ
It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair that Sayyiduna Marwan and Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhrama (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed him that when the delegation of Hawazin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as Muslims and requested him to return their wealth and captives, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "You see how many people are with me. I like truthful speech very much, so choose one thing from either the captives or the wealth. I have already given you some respite regarding this." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had given them more than ten nights' respite upon his return from Ta’if, meaning he waited for them for that long. When they saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would return only one of the two things to them, they said: "We choose our captives to be returned to us." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among the Muslims, praised and glorified Allah with words that He is worthy of, and then said: "These brothers of yours have come in repentance. I have decided to return their captives to them. Whoever among you wishes to do so gladly, let him do so, and whoever wants to take his share, then from the first spoils (fay) that come to us, we will pay him his share. Whoever wishes to do so, let him do so." The people said: "Considering the wish of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we also gladly do so." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "We do not know who among you has given permission for this and who has not. You people go back, and your representatives will come to us and inform us of your decision." Those representatives gathered the people and spoke to them, then came and informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that they had gladly given permission for this. Urwah said that this is the narration that reached me regarding the captives of Hawazin.
