(the freed slave of Um Hani) Um Hani, the daughter of Abi Talib said, "I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath and his daughter Fatima was screening him. I greeted him. He asked, 'Who is she?' I replied, 'I am Um Hani bint Abi Talib.' He said, 'Welcome! O Um Hani.' When he finished his bath he stood up and prayed eight rakʿat while wearing a single garment wrapped round his body and when he finished I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ ! My brother has told me that he will kill a person whom I gave shelter and that person is so and so the son of Hubaira.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'We shelter the person whom you have sheltered.' " Um Hani added, "And that was before noon (Duha). (Using translation from Bukhārī 357)
هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ تَقُولُ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَغْتَسِلُ وَفَاطِمَةُ ابْنَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ تَسْتُرُهُ بِثَوْبٍ قَالَتْ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذِهِ؟ فَقُلْتُ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِأُمِّ هَانِئٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ مُلْتَحِفًا فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَعَمَ ابْنُ أُمِّي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ رَجُلًا أَجَرْتُهُ فُلَانَ بْنَ هُبَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ يَا أُمَّ هَانِئٍ قَالَتْ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ وَذَلِكَ ضُحًى لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقُلْتُ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] They closed the door behind him and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, "That was not his doing, for we have granted safety to those you have granted safety and rewarded those you have rewarded."
أَغْلِقُوا دُونَهُ الْبَابَ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَقَدْ أَمَّنَّا مَنْ أَمَّنْتِ وَأَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ
[Machine] "Abdullah, Abu Bakr, Abu Muhammad, and Abu Sadiq said: Abu al-Abbas narrated to us that Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Hakam informed us that Ibn Wahb told me that Ayyad ibn Abdullah narrated to me from Makhrama ibn Sulaiman from Kurayb, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Umm Hanee bint Abi Talib spoke to him saying: 'The son of my mother, Ali, claims that he has killed someone I have hired.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'We have hired those who you have hired.'"
عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَبُو صَادِقٍ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَنَّ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ زَعَمَ ابْنُ أُمِّي عَلِيٌّ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ مَنْ أَجَرْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ
[Machine] If the woman is mistreating the Muslims, it is permissible for them to respond to her.
إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَتَأْخُذُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيُجَوِّزُونَ ذَلِكَ لَهَا
[Machine] About Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she narrated that Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , sent her husband, Abu Al-As ibn Al-Rabi', to ask her father for a guaranteed safe conduct. Umm Salamah went out to talk, peeking her head from the door of her room while the Prophet ﷺ was praying the morning prayer with the people. She said, "O people, I am Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I have granted Abu Al-As safe conduct." When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, he said, "O people, I did not know about this until you informed me. And indeed, he has granted safe conduct to the Muslims among them, even the lowest of them."
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ أَنْ خُذِي لِي أَمَانًا مِنْ أَبِيكِ فَخَرَجَتْ فَأَطْلَعَتْ رَأْسَهَا مِنْ بَابِ حُجْرَتِهَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَتْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْلَمْ بِهَذَا حَتَّى سَمِعْتُمُوهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ
[Machine] When Abu Al-As ibn Ar-Rabi' entered upon Zaynab bint Rasul Allah ﷺ seeking her protection, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until morning. When he raised his voice in prayer, Zaynab shouted, "O people, I have given protection to Abu Al-As ibn Ar-Rabi'!" When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said, "O people, have you heard what I heard?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I did not know anything about what occurred until I heard from him what you have heard. Indeed, he gives protection to the Muslims, starting with the closest to him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Zaynab and said, "O my dear daughter, honor his dwelling place and do not let him approach you, for you are not lawful for him and he is not lawful for you." This was reported to us in the Book of Maghazi (Battles) as a disconnected narration, and it was mentioned to us in the Book of Al-Mustadrak from Yazid ibn Ruman from Uruwah from Aisha, who said, Zaynab shouted and mentioned him.
لَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَجَارَ بِهَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَلَمَّا كَبَّرَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ صَرَخَتْ زَيْنَبُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلْ سَمِعْتُمْ مَا سَمِعْتُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا كَانَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ مَا سَمِعْتُمْ إِنَّهُ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ وَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّكِ فَإِنَّكِ لَا تَحِلِّينَ لَهُ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكِ هَكَذَا أُخْبِرْنَا فِي كِتَابِ الْمَغَازِي مُنْقَطِعًا وَحُدِّثْنَا بِهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُسْتَدْرَكِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ صَرَخَتْ زَيْنَبُ فَذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] For the Prophet ﷺ , Abu Al-As ibn Ar-Rabi' is either a close relative, then he is a cousin, or a distant relative, then he is a relative by marriage. Indeed, I have paid him a debt, so the Prophet ﷺ grants him permission. It is also said that Zainab said to the Prophet ﷺ while he was being sent...
لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ إِنْ قَرُبَ فَابْنُ عَمٍّ وَإِنْ بَعُدَ فَأَبُو وَلَدٍ وَإِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُهُ فَأَجَازَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ؓ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ
