[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ consulted Abu Bakr regarding the captives. Abu Bakr said, "Your people and tribe are worthier. Let them go." Then, the Prophet ﷺ sought consultation from Umar, who said, "Kill them." The Prophet ﷺ preferred Abu Bakr's opinion and Allah revealed the verse, "It is not for a Prophet to have captives of war until he has thoroughly subdued the land [from disbelief and polytheism]" (Quran 8:67) until the verse, "So consume what you have taken of war booty [as being] lawful and good" (Quran 8:69). The Prophet ﷺ then met Umar and said, "You almost caused us a great calamity with your opinion."  

اسْتَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْأُسَارَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ قَوْمُكَ وَعَشِيرَتُكَ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُمْ فَاسْتَشَارَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ اقْتُلْهُمْ قَالَ فَفَدَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ} [الأنفال 67] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا} [الأنفال 69] قَالَ فَلَقِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَادَ أَنْ يُصِيبَنَا فِي خِلَافِكَ بَلَاءٌ
