اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " بَعَثَ جَيْشًا إِلَى أَوْطَاسٍ ، فَلَقُوا عَدُوًّا فَقَاتَلُوهُمْ ، وَظَهَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَأَصَابُوا لَهُمْ سَبَايَا لَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ فِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَكَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَحَرَّجُوا مِنْ غِشْيَانِهِنَّ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ سورة النساء آية 24 , أَيْ هَذَا لَكُمْ حَلَالٌ إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهُنَّ .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet of Allah sent an army to Awtas. They met the enemy, fought them, and prevailed over them. They acquired female prisoners who had husbands among the idolaters. The Muslims felt reluctant to be intimate with them. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed:` "Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (slaves) whom your right hands possess," meaning, this is permissible for you once they have completed their 'Iddah.

Urdu Footnote:
➊ "Felt sinful" because she was married. Her husband was alive.
➋ "Fall into your hands" means they become your slave-girls. But a free woman cannot be purchased and made a slave-girl. Only if a non-believing woman is captured in war can she become a slave-girl. If a married woman is already a slave-girl, then buying her does not annul her previous marriage.
➌ "Intercourse and marriage"—that is, intercourse (jima‘) is for the owner, and marriage (nikah) is for the non-owner.
➍ "The waiting period passes" (iddah), and this waiting period is one menstrual cycle (hayd). If menstruation occurs, then after it ends, intercourse is permissible. If menstruation does not occur, then she is pregnant, and until childbirth, intercourse or marriage is not permissible.
➎ This hadith is evidence for the majority of scholars that just as non-Arabs can be enslaved, so too can Arab polytheists. The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) took the Hawazin as captives and slaves, and their women as slave-girls.
➏ Women among the disbelievers other than the People of the Book can also be made slave-girls, and intercourse with them is permissible.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
HALAB:
This is a verbal noun and means extracting milk from the udder.
Benefits and Issues:
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam generally forbade calling the ‘Isha prayer by the name “Atamah” so that this name would not become its predominant designation. However, he did not prohibit occasionally referring to it as “Atamah.” For this reason, on some occasions, he himself referred to ‘Isha as “Atamah,” and he also explained the reason for this naming: that the Bedouins, since they delay in milking their camels and this task extends into the darkness, therefore call it “Atamah.” He instructed not to start calling it “Atamah” along with them, lest the name “‘Isha” be abandoned or become overshadowed.
It is stated in the Noble Qur’an:
﴿وَمِن بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ﴾ ( an-Nur: 58)

Benefits and Issues:
After becoming a prisoner of war, separation occurs between husband and wife, whether only one of them is captured or both.
Therefore, it is permissible to derive benefit (sexual enjoyment) from the woman, and her waiting period (‘iddah) is one menstrual cycle.
