This may signify that Umar honored them for their participation in the Battle of Badr, or it may mean that he gave them after they were freed. Allah knows best.

Ghifar added to it with a narration from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . 12980 Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah informed us, Abu al-Fadl ibn Khameerawayhi informed us, Ahmad ibn Najdah informed us, Al-Hasan ibn al-Rabee' informed us, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, and he mentioned it. Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said, "I see it means after they were freed."
