It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him): We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the Battle of Hunayn. When we faced the enemy, there was chaos among the Muslims. I saw a polytheist who had climbed over a Muslim to kill him. I immediately turned around and reached him from behind, then struck his neck with my sword. He turned towards me and pressed me so hard that my soul was about to leave, then death overtook him and he let go of me. I met Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "What happened to the people?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The command of Allah." Then the people regained themselves, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever has killed a disbeliever and brings proof of it, his belongings will be given to him." I stood up and said, "Who will testify for me?" (When no one did,) I sat down. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever has killed a disbeliever, let him bring proof and he will take his belongings." I stood up again and said, "Who will testify for me?" (No one spoke,) so I sat down. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) announced a third time. I stood up, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself asked: "What is the matter with you, O Abu Qatadah?" I narrated the story. A man from the people said, "O Messenger of Allah! Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) is telling the truth. The belongings of his slain are with me. Please make him pleased with me (so that the belongings remain with me)." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke up: "No, by Allah! Then no lion of Allah will fight for Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) if his belongings are given to you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has spoken the truth, give it to him." Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took the belongings and gave them to Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I sold the armor and bought a garden of Banu Salamah, and this was the first wealth I acquired after Islam. Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "Mukhraf" refers to a date-palm tree.

We camped, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us to attack the enemy at the time of Fajr prayer. We brought a slave girl to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her to me as a reward, and she was the most beautiful. I did not even lift her garment until we reached Madinah. I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the market of Madinah, and he said: “Give that slave girl to me as a gift.” I said, “I like her, and I have not even removed her clothes yet.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. When night came, the slave girl spent the night with me, but I did not remove her clothes. The next day, I again met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the market, and he said: “Gift the slave girl to me, may Allah bless your father.” I said, “She is gifted to you, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I have not yet removed her clothes.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that slave girl to the polytheists of Makkah and freed several Muslim captives in exchange.
