حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ وَفْدَ هَوَازِنَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِالْجِعِرَّانَةِ وَقَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَصْلٌ وَعَشِيرَةٌ وَقَدْ أَصَابَنَا مِنْ الْبَلَاءِ مَا لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ فَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَنِسَاؤُكُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ أَمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَيَّرْتَنَا بَيْنَ أَحْسَابِنَا وَبَيْنَ أَمْوَالِنَا بَلْ تُرَدُّ عَلَيْنَا نِسَاؤُنَا وَأَبْنَاؤُنَا فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتُ لِلنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ فَقُومُوا فَقُولُوا إِنَّا نَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَبْنَائِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا فَسَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَسْأَلُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ قَامُوا فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالَّذِي أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ لِي ولِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ قَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو تَمِيمٍ فَلَا وَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو فَزَارَةَ فَلَا قَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَنُو سُلَيْمٍ فَلَا قَالَتْ بَنُو سُلَيْمٍ لَا مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقُولُ عَبَّاسٌ يَا بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَهَّنْتُمُونِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ مِنْكُمْ بِحَقِّهِ مِنْ هَذَا السَّبْيِ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ سِتُّ فَرَائِضَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ شَيْءٍ نُصِيبُهُ فَرَدُّوا عَلَى النَّاسِ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Ya'qub, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr — that the delegation of Hawazin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Ji'rrana after they had accepted Islam. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are a people of lineage and kinship, and a calamity has befallen us that is not hidden from you — so be gracious to us as Allah has been gracious to you.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Are your children and women more beloved to you, or your wealth?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have given us a choice between our honor and our wealth. Rather — return our women and children to us, for that is more beloved to us.' He said to them: 'As for what belongs to me and Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib — it is yours. When I lead the people in Dhuhr prayer, stand up and say: "We seek intercession through the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the Muslims, and through the Muslims with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for [the return of] our children and women." I will then give you and ask on your behalf.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in Dhuhr, they stood and said what he had instructed them. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'As for what belongs to me and Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib — it is yours.' The Muhajirun said: 'What belongs to us is [also given] for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Ansar said: 'What belongs to us is [also given] for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Al-Aqra' ibn Habis said: 'As for me and Banu Tamim — no.' 'Uyayna ibn Hisn ibn Hudhayfa ibn Badr said: 'As for me and Banu Fazara — no.' 'Abbas ibn Mirdas said: 'As for me and Banu Sulaym — no.' Banu Sulaym said: 'No — what belongs to us is [given] for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' 'Abbas said: 'O Banu Sulaym, you have undermined my position!' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'As for whoever among you holds onto his rightful share of these captives — for each person [he releases], he will receive six young camels from the first booty we obtain.' And the people returned the children and women [of Hawazin] to them.
