من مسند أبي سعيد الخدري
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1148 — he said: On the day of (the battle of) Awtas
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: «أَصَبْنَا سَبَايَا يَوْمَ أَوْطَاسٍ لَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ، فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَقَعَ عَلَيْهِنَّ، فَسَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَنَزَلَتْ»: {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ} [النساء: 24] فَاسْتَحْلَلْنَاهُنَّ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "On the day of (the battle of) Awtas we obtained female captives of war who had (disbelieving) husbands, so we disliked having relations with them, and we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. Then this blessed verse was revealed: 'And (forbidden to you are) the women who have husbands, except those whom your right hands possess.' So then we considered them lawful for ourselves (in the light of this text)."
