٥٠۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] Jibreel came to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Badr and said, "Give your companions the choice regarding the prisoners. If they wish, they can demand ransom, and if they wish, they can put them to death. If you agree to accept ransom, a number of them would be set free." The Prophet's companions said, "We will not agree to ransom. We will put them to death instead." (Narrated by Mahmoud ibn Ghailan, from Abu Dawud Al-Haffari)
جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ خَيِّرْ أَصْحَابَكَ فِي الْأُسَارَى إِنْ شَاءُوا فِي الْقَتْلِ وَإِنْ شَاءُوا فِي الْفِدَاءِ عَلَى أَنْ يُقْتَلَ عَامًا مُقْبِلًا مَثَلُهُمْ مِنْهُمٍ فَقَالُوا «الْفِدَاءُ وَيُقْتَلُ مِنَّا» 8609 وَعَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ غَيْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْحَفْرِيِّ بِهِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent a detachment and said, "Take the spoils, but there is a man among them." He said to them, "I am not one of them, but I fell in love with a woman, so I followed her to see her for a moment. Then do to me what appears to you." The woman said, "If a woman is tall, she has a lot of blood." He said to her, "Submit to Hubaysh before bread runs out. Tell me, if I had followed you, would I have caught up to you with jewelry or reached you with weapons? Is it not fair for a lover to assume the burden of entering the secret and public gardens?" She said, "Yes, I swear by you." He said, "Then give it to them." So they beheaded him. The woman came and stood over him and sobbed once or twice, then she died. When they returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they informed him of the news. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Wasn't there among you a compassionate man?"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً قَالَ «فَغَنِمُوا وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِنْهُمْ عَشِقْتُ امْرَأَةً فَلَحِقْتُهَا فَدَعُونِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا نَظْرَةً ثُمَّ اصْنَعُوا بِي مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ» قَالَ «فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ أَدْمَاءُ» فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَسْلِمِي حُبَيْشُ قَبْلَ نَفَادِ الْعَيْشِ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ تَبِعْتُكُمْ فَلَحِقْتُكُمْ بِحِلْيَةٍ أَوْ أَدْرَكْتُكُمْ بِالْخَوَانِقِ أَلَمْ يَكُ حَقًّا أَنْ يُنَوَّلَ عَاشِقٌ تَكَلَّفَ إِدْلَاجَ السُّرَى والْوَدَائِقَ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَدَيْتُكَ قَالَ فَقَدَّمُوهُ فَضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَجَاءَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَوَقَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَشَهِقَتْ شَهْقَةً أَوْ شَهْقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرُوهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا كَانَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ»
