[Machine] During the captivity, when they arrived in Medina, Sawda bint Zam'a, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , was staying with the family of Afraa in their house. They were under the guardianship of A'wf and Mu'awwath, the sons of Afraa, before they were veiled. Sawda said, "By Allah, I was with them when we were taken and brought to them. It was said that these captives had been brought, so I returned to my house where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was. There, I saw Abu Yazid Suhail bin 'Amr, with both his hands tied to his neck with a rope. By Allah, I have never seen anything like this before. When I asked which Abu Yazid they were referring to with their hands, they said they would kill him. I was only saved from being killed by the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said, 'O Sawda, may Allah and His Messenger exalt you!' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything like this before when I saw Abu Yazid with his hands tied to his neck with a rope. If I had said anything, I would have been killed, except for the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .'

Yahya ibn Abdullah said: When the captives (of the battle of Badr) were brought, Sawdah daughter of Zam'ah was present with the children of Afra' at the halting place of their camels, that is, Awf and Mu'awwidh sons of Afra'. This happened before the prescription of veil for them. Sawdah said: I swear by Allah, I was with them when I came (from there to the people) and I was told: These are captives recently brought (here). I returned to my house, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was there, and AbuZayd Suhayl ibn Amr was in the corner of the apartment and his hands were tied up on his neck with a rope. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said: They (the sons of 'Afra') killed Abu Jahl b. Hisham. They were deputed for him though they did not realize him: and they were killed in the battle of Badr.

[Machine] "When he arrived in Al-Madina with the prisoners, Sawda bint Zam'a, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , was with the family of the Banu 'Afrah in their camp in A'wuf and Mu'awwadh, the sons of 'Afrah. This was before the veil was prescribed for them. Sawda said, 'By Allah, I was with them when we were brought [to Al-Madina], and it was said, "These are the prisoners who have been brought." So I returned to my house, where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was present. Suddenly, Abu Yazid Suhail bin 'Amr was seen in the corner of the room, with his hands tied together around his neck with a rope. By Allah, I have never experienced fear like the moment I saw Abu Yazid like that. I asked, "Abu Yazid, have you given them your own hands? So would you not die as a noble person?" I did not calm down until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke from the house, saying, "O Sawda, may Allah and His Messenger protect you." Upon hearing this, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, I was frightened when I saw Abu Yazid with his hands tied around his neck with a rope, so I said what I said.""

[Machine] Badr arrived with Sowda, the daughter of Zama'a, at the house of the family of A'fra in their resting place, on the outskirts. I sought protection for my son Afraa and that was before the veil was imposed on them. She said, "So it was said, Badr arrived, so I went to my house and there I found Suhail bin Amr. And there was a group surrounding him, with his hands on his neck. So when I saw him, I lost control of myself and said, 'Oh Abu Yazid, have you been given power? Will you not cease being noble?' She said, 'By Allah, what made me aware of the situation was the statement of the Messenger of Allah from inside the house, 'Is Allah exalted and His Messenger exalted?' So I said, 'Oh Messenger of Allah, I only regained control of myself when I saw Abu Yazid, and I said what I said.'"
