حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَغَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ فَشَنَنَّا الْغَارَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ فَقَامُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِيهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ وَعَلَيْهَا قِشْعٌ مَنْ أَدَمٍ مَعَهَا بِنْتٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا سَلَمَةُ هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا وَهِيَ لَكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَسْرَى فَفَادَاهُمْ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ.

“We went out (on an expedition) with Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ . The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم appointed him commander over us. We attacked Fazarah and took them from all sides. I then saw a group of people which contained children and women. I shot an arrow towards them, but it fell between them and the mountain. They stood; I brought them to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ . There was among them a woman of Fazarah. She wore a skin over her and her daughter who was the most beautiful of the Arabs was with her. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ gave her daughter to me as a reward. I came back to Madeenah. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم met me and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah. I said to him, I swear by Allah, she is to my liking and I have not yet untied he garment. He kept silence, and when the next day came the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم met me in the market and said to me “Give me the woman, Salamah, by Allah, your father. I said the Messenger of Allah, I have not yet untied her garment. I swear by Allah, she is now yours. He sent her to the people of Makkah who had (some Muslims) prisoners in their hands. They released them for this woman.
