Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that during the time of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we went for jihad to the region of Hawazin with Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). I received a slave woman from Banu Fazarah as my share, who was a beautiful Arab lady. She was wearing an extra thick garment. When her extra clothes were removed, I brought her to Madinah. In the market, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met us. He said: “The excellence of your father is only for Allah. Give her to me as a gift.” Hazrat Salamah says: I gifted her to you. The narrator (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent that slave woman to Makkah for the ransom of the Muslims who were there.
