[Machine] When the people of Mecca sent their prisoners as ransom, Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , sent a necklace as ransom for Abu Al-`As. Khadijah had given her the necklace, and she presented it to Abu Al-`As when he was imprisoned. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her wearing it, he was deeply moved and said, "If you see fit, you can release her captive and return to her what belongs to her."

When the people of Mecca sent about ransoming their prisoners Zaynab sent some property to ransom Abul'As, sending among it a necklace of hers which Khadijah had had, and (which she) had given to her when she married Abul'As. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he felt great tenderness about it and said: If you consider that you should free her prisoner for her and return to her what belongs to her, (it will be well). They said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made an agreement with him that he should let Zaynab come to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Zayd ibn Harithah and a man of the Ansar (the Helpers) and said: Wait in the valley of Yajij till Zaynab passes you, then you should accompany her and bring her back.

[Machine] 'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , narrated that when the people of Makkah sent a ransom for their captives, Zainab bint Rasulullah ﷺ was sent with a ransom for Abu Al-'As ibn Ar-Rabi' with money, and she had a necklace on her that belonged to Khadijah. She gave it to him when he saw her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was tender with her and said, "If you think it appropriate to free her captive for her and return to her what belongs to her, then do so." They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So they freed him and returned to her what belongs to her.

[Machine] When the people of Mecca came to redeem their captive family members, Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, was sent to redeem Abu Al-'As. She had a necklace that Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, gave to her by which she had entered upon Abu Al-'As when they were married. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her, he felt immense tenderness towards her and said, "If you agree to give her captive to her and return what belongs to her, then do so." They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah," and returned what belonged to her, based on the condition of a Muslim.
