[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)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٦٠٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

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

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that Jibra'il had indeed descended upon him to say to him: "Tell them - meaning your Companions - to choose regarding the captives of Badr, between either killing them or ransoming the, so that the amount killed by them will correspond similarly to them." So they said: "Ranson, even though some of us may be killed." There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ud, Anas, Abu Barzah, and Jubair bin Mut'im.
