Hadith 16502

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، َأَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا ، قَالَ : غَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ ، فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ ، أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَنَنَّا الْغَارَةَ ، فَقَتَلْنَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ ، وَأَنَا أَعْدُو فِي آثَارِهِمْ ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ ، فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ ، فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، وَفِيهِمْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ ، وَمَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ ، قَالَ : فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا ، قَالَ : فَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ، ثُمَّ بِتُّ فَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " يَا سَلَمَةُ ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي ، وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرَكَنِي ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا سَلَمَةُ ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ أَعْجَبَتْنِي ، مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا ، وَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أُسَارَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَفَدَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had appointed as our leader. We were going to fight against Banu Fazarah. When we reached a place near water, Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us, and we camped there. After offering the Fajr prayer, he commanded us to attack the enemy, and we fell upon them and killed many people near that stream. Suddenly, I saw a swift group heading towards the mountain; there were women and children among them. I set off after them, but then I feared that they might reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow towards them, which landed between them on the mountain. Then I drove them towards Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and brought them back to the stream. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazarah who was wearing a leather cloak, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful girls among the Arabs. Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave that daughter to me as a reward. I did not even lift her veil until we reached Madinah Munawwarah. Even when night fell, I did not remove her veil. The next day, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me, “Salamah! Give me that woman as a gift.” I replied, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet.” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent and left me. The next day, I again met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace, and he repeated his request and made me swear by my father. I swore and said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet. But O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Now I give her to you.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent that girl to the people of Makkah, in whose custody there were many Muslim prisoners. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered that girl in exchange for ransom and thus freed those prisoners.
