حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ وَجِيءَ بِالْأَسَارَى ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَسَارَى ؟ فَذَكَرَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةً طَوِيلَةً ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَنْفَلِتَنَّ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِفِدَاءٍ أَوْ ضَرْبِ عُنُقٍ " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا سُهَيْلَ ابْنَ بَيْضَاءَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُ الْإِسْلَامَ ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا رَأَيْتُنِي فِي يَوْمٍ أَخْوَفَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنِّي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ ، قَالَ : حَتَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِلَّا سُهَيْلَ بْنَ بَيْضَاءِ " ، قَالَ : وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِقَوْلِ عُمَرَ : مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ سورة الأنفال آية 67 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ .
´Narrated 'Amr bin Murrah:` that Abu 'Ubaidah bin 'Abdullah narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud who said: "On the Day of Badr, when the captives were brought, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said 'What do you say about these captives?' So he mentioned the story. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said 'Not one of them should be released without a ransom, or a blow to the neck.'" So 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: "O Messenger of Allah! With the exception of Suhail bin Baidam for indeed I heard him mentioning Islam." He said: "So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was silent." He said: "I have not seen a day upon which I was more fearful of stones falling from the heavens upon my head that the day." [He said:] "Until the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Except for Suhail bin Al-Baida.'" He said: "And the Qur'an was revealed in accordance with the view of 'Umar. 'It is not (fitting) for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he has fought (his enemies thoroughly) in the land...' until the end of the Ayat."

Explanation:
1:
The story (in brief) is that Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu says:
Regarding the prisoners of Badr, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam consulted his companions.
Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu was of the opinion that they should be treated with gentleness and released after taking ransom from them.
Umar said:
These are the people who denied you,
it is not appropriate to forgive them,
rather, you should command that each of us execute his close associate.
Some others were of the opinion that all of them should be thrown into heaps of dry wood and burned.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam listened to everyone and remained silent,
went inside, then came out and said:
Allah makes some hearts as soft as milk, while He makes others as hard as stone.
He likened Abu Bakr to Ibrahim and Isa,
Umar to Nuh, and Abdullah ibn Rawahah to Musa alayhim as-salam.
Then he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam preferred Abu Bakr’s opinion and released all of them after taking ransom.
The next day, when Umar came and saw the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Abu Bakr weeping, he asked,
O Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam! What is the reason for weeping? If I had known, I would have joined you,
or at least made a weeping face.
He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
I am weeping because of the punishment that was about to descend upon your companions due to accepting ransom from the prisoners of Badr, and it had come so close to that tree.
Then this noble verse was revealed: ﴿مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ﴾ ().
2:
From this hadith, it is understood that consultation (shura) holds great importance in Islam.
If all the affairs of the Muslims are conducted through mutual consultation, there will be much goodness and blessing in them,
and the Lord of the worlds will provide ease for those affairs and His help will be with them.
