Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35479 — Those who disliked ransom
٣٥٤٧٩ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن حبيب بن أبي عمرة عن مجاهد قال: استشار رسول اللَّه ﷺ في الأسارى يوم بدر، فقال أبو بكر: قومك -يا رسول اللَّه- وعشيرتك (و) (١) بنو عمك فخذ منهم الفدية، وقال عمر: (اقتلهم) (٢)، فنزلت: ﴿مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ﴾ (٣) [الأنفال: ٦٧].
It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought counsel regarding the captives of the Battle of Badr. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), these are your people, your kinsfolk and your cousins; take ransom from them and release them." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Kill them all." Then this verse of the Noble Qur'an was revealed concerning this: "It is not for a prophet to have captives until he has inflicted slaughter in the land." [Al-Anfal: 67]
