They took captives (women) on the day of Autas who had their husbands. They were afraid (to have sexual intercourse with them) when this verse was revealed:" And women already married except those whom you right hands posses" (iv. 24)  

مسلم:١٤٥٦dوَحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

أَصَابُوا سَبْيًا يَوْمَ أَوْطَاسٍ لَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ فَتَخَوَّفُوا فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ}

[Machine] "The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ captured captives on the day of the Battle of Uhud, and among them were women married to polytheists. Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ refrained and felt guilty towards them. Then, this verse was revealed regarding that matter: 'And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves or captives].' (Surah An-Nisa, 4:24)"

[Machine] We captured women from the prisoners of war, and they had husbands. We disliked to have relations with them, and they also had husbands. So we asked the Prophet ﷺ , and this verse was revealed: "And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess." (Surah An-Nisa, 24) He then permitted us to have sexual relations with them.
