Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

[Machine] That Zainab migrated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and her husband was a disbeliever, so the Muslims captured Abu Al-As ibn Al-Rabi'. Zainab said, "I have already ransomed Abu Al-As." So the Prophet ﷺ allowed her to keep her spouse's company and said, "Indeed, he helps the Muslims, even if he is one of the least among them."  

الطبراني:١٩٣٤٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثَعْلَبُ النَّحْوِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ثنا أَيُّوبَ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ

أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ هَاجَرَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَزَوْجُهَا كَافِرٌ فَأَسَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ فَأَجَازَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جِوَارَهَا وَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ»

[Machine] "Zainab, I have hired Abu Al-As," said the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. "We have hired whoever Zainab hires, as he provides for the Muslims, especially those in need," Al-Dhahabi did not comment on it in his summary.  

الحاكم:٦٨٤٢ – فَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَصَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا أُسِرَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ قَالَتْ

زَيْنَبُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَارَتْ زَيْنَبُ إِنَّهُ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
