[Machine] Two men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were captured by the people of Thaqeef, and the companions of the Prophet ﷺ had captured a man from the Banu Amer bin Sa'sa'ah tribe. He passed by the Prophet ﷺ while he was bound, so he called out to him, "O Muhammad, O Muhammad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached him and asked, "Why are you being held captive?" He replied, "By the rights of your allies." The Prophet ﷺ then continued on his way. He called out to him again, and the Prophet ﷺ came to him. The captive said to him, "I am a Muslim." The Prophet ﷺ responded, "If you had said that while you were in control of your affairs, you would have succeeded greatly." The Prophet ﷺ then continued on his way. He called out to him once more, and the Prophet ﷺ came to him. The captive said to him, "I am hungry. Please feed me." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "This is your need." Then, the Prophet ﷺ ransomed him by giving the two men who were captured by the people of Thaqeef.  

أَسَرَتْ ثَقِيفٌ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَسَرَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُوثَقٌ فَنَادَاهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «عَلَامَ أُحْبَسُ؟ » فَقَالَ بِجَرِيرَةِ حُلَفَائِكَ ثُمَّ مَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسِيرُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَوْ قُلْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ تَمْلِكُ أَمْرَكَ أَفْلَحْتَ كُلَّ الْفَلَاحِ» ثُمَّ مَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُ أَيْضًا فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي جَائِعٌ فَأَطْعِمْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَذِهِ حَاجَتُكَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَاهُ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَتْ ثَقِيفٌ أَسَرَتْهُمَا  

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)
