حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ: وَزَعَمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ أَخْبَرَاهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ حِينَ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ مُسْلِمِينَ، فَسَأَلُوا أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَسَبْيَهُمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَعِي مَنْ تَرَوْنَ، وَأَحَبُّ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَيَّ أَصْدَقُهُ، فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ: إِمَّا السَّبْيُ وَإِمَّا الْمَالُ، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ اسْتَأْنَيْتُ بِكُمْ " وَكَانَ أَنْظَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ، فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرُ رَادٍّ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ، قَالُوا: فَإِنَّا نَخْتَارُ سَبْيَنَا. فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ قَدْ جَاءُوا تَائِبِينَ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ سَبْيَهُمْ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطَيِّبَ ذَلِكَ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى حَظِّهِ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ (١) مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا يُفِيءُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَلْيَفْعَلْ " فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: قَدْ طَيَّبْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "، ، إِنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَنْ أَذِنَ مِنْكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ، مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ، فَارْجِعُوا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْنَا عُرَفَاؤُكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ " فَجَمَعَ (١) النَّاسُ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ عُرَفَاؤُهُمْ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ طَيَّبُوا وَأَذِنُوا هَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سَبْيِ هَوَازِنَ (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Marwan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Miswar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the delegation of the Muslims of Banu Hawazin came to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), they requested that their captives and wealth be returned to them (because now they had become Muslims). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You see all the people who are with me. Truth is most beloved to me, so choose one of the two options: either the captives or the wealth? I give you time to think." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave them a little more than ten nights to think after returning from Ta’if. When they were convinced that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would return only one thing to them, they said, "We prefer the option of freeing the captives." So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood among the Muslims and praised Allah as is His due, then said, "Your brothers have come in repentance. My opinion is to return their captives to them, so whoever among you can do so with the happiness of his heart, let him do so." The people said, "We happily give permission for this." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "How do we know who among you has given permission happily and who has not? Therefore, now you all go back until your elders present your permission before us." So the people went back, then their elders spoke to them and came back and informed the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) that all had given permission happily. This is what I have come to know regarding the captives of Banu Hawazin.
