حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شِهَابٍ ، وَزَعَمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَاهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ حِينَ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ مُسْلِمِينَ ، فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَسَبْيَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَعِي مَنْ تَرَوْنَ ، وَأَحَبُّ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَيَّ أَصْدَقُهُ ، فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ : إِمَّا السَّبْيَ ، وَإِمَّا الْمَالَ ، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ اسْتَأْنَيْتُ بِكُمْ " ، وَكَانَ أَنْظَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنْ الطَّائِفِ ، فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرُ رَادٍّ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ ، قَالُوا : فَإِنَّا نَخْتَارُ سَبْيَنَا ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، فَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ قَدْ جَاءُونَا 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 يُفِيءُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ " ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : قَدْ طَيَّبْنَا ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَنْ أَذِنَ مِنْكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ ، فَارْجِعُوا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْنَا عُرَفَاؤُكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ " ، فَرَجَعَ النَّاسُ ، فَكَلَّمَهُمْ عُرَفَاؤُهُمْ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ طَيَّبُوا وَأَذِنُوا هَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سَبْيِ هَوَازِنَ .
Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegate of Hawazin came to Allah's Apostle declaring their conversion to Islam and asked him to return their properties and captives, Allah's Apostle got up and said to them, "There Is involved in this matter, the people whom you see with me, and the most beloved talk to me, is the true one. So choose one of two alternatives: Either the captives or the properties. I have been waiting for you (i.e. have not distributed the booty)." Allah's Apostle had delayed the distribution of their booty over ten nights after his return from Ta'if. So when they came to know that Allah's Apostle was not going to return to them but one of the two, they said, "We prefer to have our captives." So Allah's Apostle got up amongst the Muslims, and praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed! Your brothers have come to you with repentance and I see (it logical) to return their captives. So, whoever of you likes to do that as a favor then he can do it. And whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we give him from the very first booty which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people said, "We do that (i.e. return the captives) willingly as a favor, 'O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "We do not know which of you have agreed to it and which have not; so go back and let your chiefs forward us your decision." They went back and their chief's spoke to them, and they (i.e. the chiefs) returned to Allah's Apostle and informed him that all of them had agreed (to give up their captives) with pleasure, and had given their permission (i.e. that the captives be returned to their people). (The sub-narrator said, "That is what has reached me about the captives of Hawazin tribe.")

Hadith Commentary:
1.
It was the custom of the Arabs that when they intended to engage in a fierce battle, they would bring their families and wealth, including livestock, along with them so that the fighters would remain aware that if they were defeated, all their possessions and family would fall into the hands of the enemy. Banu Hawazin did the same.
When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw this, he said:
“If Allah wills, all this wealth and property will come to us as spoils of war (ghanimah).”
And so it happened: a fierce battle took place, the tribe of Hawazin was badly defeated and fled, and their wealth, possessions, children, and women all came into the hands of the Muslims.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) waited for them for several days; it was his wish that the people of Hawazin would come to him as Muslims, so that he could say to the warriors that their property should be returned to them. But when they delayed for too long, he distributed the spoils of war at the place of Ji‘ranah.
After the distribution, a delegation of Hawazin consisting of twenty-four people arrived, among whom was Abu Barqan Sa‘di. He said:
“O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Among these captives, due to the ties of milk kinship, there are several of your mothers, maternal aunts, and milk-sisters. Please show kindness to us; Allah will show kindness to you.”
The reply that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave is mentioned in the hadith. In any case, he freed all the captives.
(Fath al-Bari: 8/43)
Before returning the captives, he consulted the Muhajirun, and they said:
“All our wealth is for you.”
The Ansar gave the same reply.
Aqra‘ ibn Habis said:
“I and Banu Tamim are not pleased with this.”
‘Uyaynah said:
“I and Banu Fazarah are also not prepared to return the wealth.”
‘Abbas ibn Mirdas said:
“I and Banu Sulaym also cannot do this willingly.”
Since this wealth belonged to the warriors, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) adopted the method of representation to seek their permission. In this way, the children and women of Banu Hawazin were returned.
(Fath al-Bari: 8/43)
