حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ " أَنَّ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ هَبَطُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ التَّنْعِيمِ مُتَسَلِّحِينَ يُرِيدُونَ غِرَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَأَخَذَهُمْ سِلْمًا فَاسْتَحْيَاهُمْ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سورة الفتح آية 24 " .
It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) that eighty Persons from the inhabitants of Makkah swooped down upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from the mountain of Tan'im. They were armed and wanted to attack the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions unawares. He (the Holy Prophet) captured them but spared their lives. So, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the verses: "It is He Who restrained your hands from them and their hands from you in the valley of Makkah after He had given you a victory over them."

Allah Ta'ala says:
(فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا) (Muhammad: 4)
When you meet those who disbelieve in battle,
then strike their necks.
When you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly as captives.
Afterwards, you have the option: either show favor and release them, or take ransom (compensation and exchange) for them,
until the war lays down its burdens.
Benefit: These people were enthusiastic and warlike youths of the Quraysh,
who, contrary to the opinion of their elders, were not in favor of making peace with the Muslims.
They devised this dangerous plan on their own, which Allah Ta'ala rendered void.
Then the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) released them as a favor, without taking any ransom.
