Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 20463 — The captives of Badr were brought

Yahya bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Sa'd bin Zurarah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The captives of Badr were brought, and Sayyidah Sawdah bint Zam'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) was (at that time) with the family of Afra' at their place, on account of the two sons of Afra', Awf and Mu'awwidh. This was before the command of the veil was imposed on the wives. She said: It was said that the captives of Badr had been brought, so I came to my house, and there was Suhayl bin Amr in a corner of the room, with both his hands tied to his neck. When I saw him, I could not control myself, and I said: O Abu Yazid! You people surrendered (yourselves) to them! Why did you not die honourably? She said: By Allah! Nothing alerted me except the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from inside the house: "Against Allah and His Messenger?" So I said: O Messenger of Allah! When I saw Abu Yazid, I could not control myself and said what I said.
