Hadith 10831
عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ غَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَنَنَّا الْغَارَةَ فَقَتَلْنَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ وَأَنَا أَعْدُو فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَفِيهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا قَالَ فَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ثُمَّ بِتُّ فَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا قَالَ فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ لِي {يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِيَ الْمَرْأَةَ} قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرَكَنِي حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ {يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِيَ الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ} قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ أَعْجَبَتْنِي مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا وَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أُسَارَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَدَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We set out in the company of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafa (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed him as our leader. We intended to attack the tribe of Fazarah. When we reached near the water of our destination, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us, and we rested for a while in the last part of the night. When we performed the Fajr prayer, we launched a sudden attack by the order of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and we killed many people near that water. Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then I saw a group of people heading towards the mountain, among them were women and children. I started running after them, fearing that they would reach the mountain before me, so I shot arrows at them which fell between them and the mountain. Then I captured those people and brought them to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) near the water. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazarah, who had an old leather sheet over her, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful girls among the Arabs. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) granted her daughter to me as an extra share. I did not have any relations with her until we reached Madinah Munawwarah, and the night passed in the same way. When I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the market, he said: O Salamah! Gift that woman to me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, she is very dear to me, but I have not even lifted her garment yet. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and left me. The next day, when you met me again in the market, you (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Salamah! May your father be blessed, gift that woman to me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, she is very dear to me, and I have not yet lifted her garment. O Messenger of Allah! Now she is for you. There were some Muslim prisoners with the people of Makkah, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent that woman to the people of Makkah as ransom for those Muslims.
