Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu Qatada Al-Aslami: That his father said, "One day I was sitting with some of the Prophet's companions on the way toMecca. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was ahead of us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I wasa non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so they did not tell me aboutit but they wished I had seen it. By chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse, saddled itand rode on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they could hand over to methe whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I becameangry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the horse again. I attacked theonager and slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead). They took it (cooked some of it) andstarted eating it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it or not, as they were in thestate of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs. When we met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)and asked him about the case, he asked, 'Do you have a portion of it with you?' I replied in theaffirmative and gave him that fleshy foreleg which he ate completely while he was in the state ofIhram .

Narrated `Urwa from `Aisha: The wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) were in two groups. One group consisted of `Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya andSauda; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). TheMuslims knew that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) loved `Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and wished to give toAllah's Messenger (ﷺ), he would delay it, till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had come to `Aisha's home and then he wouldsend his gift to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the matter togetherand decided that Um Salama should request Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell the people to send their gifts to himin whatever wife's house he was. Um Salama told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what they had said, but he did notreply.Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." Theyasked her to talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day, but he gave noreply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him tillhe gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to her, "Do not hurtme regarding Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of the beds except that ofAisha." On that Um Salama said, "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um Salamacalled Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and sent her to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to say to him, "Yourwives request to treat them and the daughter of Abu Bakr on equal terms."Then Fatima conveyed the message to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O my daughter! Don't you love whomI love?" She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them of the situation. They requested herto go to him again but she refused. They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harshwords saying, "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafa on equalterms." On that she raised her voice and abused `Aisha to her face so much so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)looked at `Aisha to see whether she would retort. `Aisha started replying to Zainab till she silencedher. The Prophet (ﷺ) then looked at `Aisha and said, "She is really the daughter of Abu Bakr."

Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) they requested him to return theirproperty and their captives. He said to them, "This concerns also other people along with me as yousee, and the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two alternatives; either thecaptives or the property and (I have not distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you."When the Prophet (ﷺ) had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When theycame to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) would not return except one of the two, they chose their captives. TheProphet then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and thensaid, "Then after: These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper toreturn their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, andwhoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty)which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to themwillingly as a favor, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I do not know who of you has given hisconsent and who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your decision to me." The peoplewent away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) to tell himthat all of them had given their consent (to return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhn, the sub-narratorsaid, "This is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin.")
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ حِينَ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ هَوَازِنَ مُسْلِمِينَ، فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَسَبْيَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " مَعِي مَنْ تَرَوْنَ، وَأَحَبُّ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَىَّ أَصْدَقُهُ، فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ إِمَّا السَّبْىَ وَإِمَّا الْمَالَ، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ اسْتَأْنَيْتُ ". وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم انْتَظَرَهُمْ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ، فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَيْرُ رَادٍّ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلاَّ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نَخْتَارُ سَبْيَنَا. فَقَامَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ هَؤُلاَءِ جَاءُونَا تَائِبِينَ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ سَبْيَهُمْ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطَيِّبَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى حَظِّهِ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا يُفِيءُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ ". فَقَالَ النَّاسُ طَيَّبْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " إِنَّا لاَ نَدْرِي مَنْ أَذِنَ مِنْكُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ، فَارْجِعُوا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْنَا عُرَفَاؤُكُمْ أَمْرَكُمْ ". فَرَجَعَ النَّاسُ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ عُرَفَاؤُهُمْ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُمْ طَيَّبُوا وَأَذِنُوا. وَهَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنَا مِنْ سَبْىِ هَوَازِنَ هَذَا آخِرُ قَوْلِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، يَعْنِي فَهَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنَا.
Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) they requested him to return their property and their captives. He said to them, "This concerns also other people along with me as you see, and the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I have not distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you." When the Prophet (ﷺ) had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) would not return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to them willingly as a favor, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I do not know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your decision to me." The people went away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) to tell him that all of them had given their consent (to return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhri, the sub-narrator said, "This is what we know about the captives of Hawazin)
