[Machine] He was among those whom the Prophet ﷺ spoke to on the day of the Battle of Hawazin. The Messenger of Allah said, "Your tribe, your lineage, and all the suckling mothers." He also said, "For this day, we have hidden you, along with your mothers, sisters, and aunts." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to his companions and returned their captives to them, except for two men. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and give them a choice." One of them said, "I will leave him," and the other said, "I will not leave him." When the Prophet ﷺ turned away, he said, "He has shot his arrow well." He used to pass by the old virgin slave girl and the young boy and ignore them, until he passed by an old woman and said, "I will take her, for she is a living mother, and they depend on her as much as they are able." Atiyyah said, "Take her, O Messenger of Allah, as her mouth does not produce anything cold, nor does her breast produce anything sour, nor does she have a husband." The Prophet ﷺ raised his voice and said, "Take her, O Messenger of Allah, she is a pure captive, and no one has any rights to her." When no one saw her, he left her.
