Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35464 — Ransom: those who approved of it

Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we went for jihad with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) in the territory of Hawazin. A slave girl of Banu Fazarah came to my share, a most beautiful Arab woman, and she wore a coarse extra garment. I did not uncover her garment until I reached Madinah. In the marketplace the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met us, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The excellence of your father is for Allah alone. Give her to me as a gift." Sayyiduna Salamah said: I gave her to him as a gift. The narrator (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent that slave girl as ransom for the Muslims who were in Makkah.
