(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

We fought against the Fazara, and Abu Bakr was the commander over us. He had been appointed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we were only at an hour's distance from the water of the enemy, Abu Bakr ordered us to attack. We made a halt during the last part of the night to rest and then we attacked from all sides and reached their watering-place where a battle was fought. Some of the enemies were killed and some were taken prisoners. I saw a group of persons that consisted of women and children. I was afraid lest they should reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stopped. So I brought them, driving them along. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia. I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me in the street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the next day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ again met me in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for you, Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca.

Salamah said “We went out (on an expedition) with Abu Bakr. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ appointed him commander over us. We attacked Fazarah and took them from all sides. I then saw a group of people which contained children and women. I shot an arrow towards them, but it fell between them and the mountain. They stood; I brought them to Abu Bakr. There was among them a woman of Fazarah. She wore a skin over her and her daughter who was the most beautiful of the Arabs was with her. Abu Bakr gave her daughter to me as a reward. I came back to Madeenah. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ met me and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah. I said to him, I swear by Allaah, she is to my liking and I have not yet untied he garment. He kept silence, and when the next day came the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ met me in the market and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah, by Allaah, your father. I said the Apostle of Allaah, I have not yet untied her garment. I swear by Allaah, she is now yours. He sent her to the people of Makkah who had (some Muslims) prisoners in their hands. They released them for this woman.

[Machine] "We went out with Abu Bakr ibn Abi Quhafa, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us saying, 'We have gone for a raid, so visit Ghazara.' When we approached the water, Abu Bakr commanded us and we saddled the horses. Then, after the Fajr prayer, Abu Bakr commanded us and we launched the surprise attack. We killed those who we had to kill by the water,' said Salamah. Then, I looked at a group of people - men, women, and children - heading towards the mountain while I was chasing them in their tracks. I was afraid they would reach the mountain ahead of me, so I shot an arrow that landed between them and the mountain. I brought them and drove them towards Abu Bakr, until I met him by the water. With them was a woman from Ghazara, with a hideous mark on her face, and she had her daughter with her, who was among the most beautiful of the Arabs,' he said. Abu Bakr then married her to me,' Salamah said. However, I did not remove her veil until I arrived in Madinah. Then, when I untied her, I didn't remove her veil,' he said. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me in the marketplace and said to me, 'Salamah, give me the woman.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, she has pleased me greatly, and I did not remove her veil.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent and left me. Then, the next morning, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me in the marketplace and said, 'Salamah, give me the woman for the sake of Allah, your father.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, she has pleased me greatly, and she is for you, O Messenger of Allah.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her to the people of Makkah, who had Muslim captives in their hands. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ransomed those captives with this woman."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Abu Bakr to Fazarah, and I went with him until we approached the water. Abu Bakr unleashed his camel, and when we prayed dawn prayer, he commanded us to prepare for an ambush. We returned to the water, and Abu Bakr killed those who killed, while we were with him. Salamah said, "I saw a group of people with necklaces among them, so I feared that they would precede me to the mountain. I caught up with them and shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stood up. Then, I saw a woman from Fazarah wearing a dress made of Qisha with her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful Arab girls. I came to them to take them to Abu Bakr, but Abu Bakr gifted them to me instead. I did not reveal her dress until we reached Al-Madinah. She then stayed with me, and I did not reveal her dress until the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , met me in the market. He said, 'O Salamah, give me the woman.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am infatuated by her, and I have not revealed her dress.' He remained silent until the next day, when I met the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in the market, and I did not reveal her dress. He said, 'O Salamah, give me the woman for the sake of Allah.' I said, 'She is yours, O Messenger of Allah.' He then sent her to the people of Makkah as a ransom for some Muslims who were in the hands of the pagans."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Abu Bakr, so we fought against some people from the Banu Fazara tribe. When we approached a well, Abu Bakr commanded us to water the horses, so we did. After we performed the Fajr prayer, Abu Bakr ordered us to launch a surprise attack. We killed those whom we had to, and some of them ran away. Among them were children and women who were trying to seek refuge in the mountains. We shot arrows between them and the mountains, and when they saw the arrows, they stopped. I then brought them, including a woman from the Banu Fazara tribe who had a daughter with her, to Abu Bakr. The woman had reddish hair and was considered one of the most beautiful Arab women. Abu Bakr said to me, "O Salamah, give me that woman." I replied, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I did not expose her to anything while she belonged to you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her to Makkah as a ransom for some Muslim prisoners who were in the hands of the polytheists. "A Muslim prisoner took her out of Makkah in a different context." (This hadith is narrated by Muslim in his collection.)  

أَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَغَزَوْنَا نَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنْ إِنَاءٍ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَنَنَّا الْغَارَةَ قَالَ فَوَرَدْنَا الْمَاءَ فَقَتَلْنَا بِهِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَفِيهِمُ الذَّرَارِيُّ وَالنِّسَاءُ قَدْ كَادُوا يَسْبِقُونَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَطَرَحْنَا سَهْمًا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا السَّهْمَ وَقَفُوا فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَفِيهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ مَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالسُّوقِ فَقَالَ «يَا سَلَمَةُ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا وَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَفَادَى بِهَا أُسَارَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ «قَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ بِغَيْرِ هَذِهِ السِّيَاقَةِ» خرجه مسلم بفظ آخر  

Salamah said “We went out (on an expedition) with Abu Bakr. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ appointed him commander over us. We attacked Fazarah and took them from all sides. I then saw a group of people which contained children and women. I shot an arrow towards them, but it fell between them and the mountain. They stood; I brought them to Abu Bakr. There was among them a woman of Fazarah. She wore a skin over her and her daughter who was the most beautiful of the Arabs was with her. Abu Bakr gave her daughter to me as a reward. I came back to Madeenah. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ met me and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah. I said to him, I swear by Allaah, she is to my liking and I have not yet untied he garment. He kept silence, and when the next day came the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ met me in the market and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah, by Allaah, your father. I said the Apostle of Allaah, I have not yet untied her garment. I swear by Allaah, she is now yours. He sent her to the people of Makkah who had (some Muslims) prisoners in their hands. They released them for this woman. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2697)   

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَغَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِشَنِّ الْغَارَةِ فَقَتَلْنَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقِ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ وَأَنَا أَعْدُو فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ فَقَامُوا فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ وَفِيهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ آدَمَ مَعَهَا بِنْتٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا فَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ثُمَّ بِتُّ وَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَرَكَنِي ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي مِنَ الْغَدِ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ «يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَسْرَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَدَاهُمْ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَكَّهُمْ بِهَا  

[Machine] We went out with Abu Bakr and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to lead us, so we engaged in battle until we reached a water source. Abu Bakr commanded us to give water to our animals. After performing the Fajr prayer, Abu Bakr commanded us to launch a surprise attack. We killed those we fought against near the water. Salamah said, "I looked and saw some people with their offspring and women. I was afraid they would escape to the mountains before me, so I shot an arrow that landed between them and the mountain. They got up and I brought them to Abu Bakr to see what to do with them. We continued driving them until we reached the water. Among them was a woman from Fazara, wearing a red leather necklace, and with her was a beautiful Arab girl. Abu Bakr's daughter fell in love with her and requested me to give her the girl as a servant. I did not uncover her until we reached Madinah. I left without uncovering her and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me and said, 'O Salamah, give me the woman.' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, she has amazed me and I have not uncovered her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent and left me. The next day, he met me in the market and said, 'O Salamah, give me the woman for the sake of Allah, not your father.' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I have not uncovered her and she is yours.' After that day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent her to the people of Makkah who were holding Muslim captives. He ransomed them with that woman and they were freed. This is according to the narration of Abu al-Walid.
