حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ وَعَلَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، أَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْمَاءِ سَاعَةٌ، أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا، ثُمَّ شَنَّ الْغَارَةَ، فَوَرَدَ الْمَاءَ، فَقَتَلَ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَلَيْهِ، وَسَبَى، وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِمُ الذَّرَارِيُّ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ بَيْنهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا السَّهْمَ وَقَفُوا، فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ وَفِيهِمِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ - قَالَ: الْقَشْعُ: النِّطْعُ - مَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ، فَسُقْتُهُمْ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا، فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا، فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا سَلَمَةُ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ»، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا، ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا سَلَمَةُ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ»، فَقُلْتُ: هِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَوَاللهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا، فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، فَفَدَى بِهَا نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا أُسِرُوا بِمَكَّةَ.

We fought against the Fazara, and Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ was the commander over us. He had been appointed by the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). When we were only at an hour's distance from the water of the enemy, Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ ordered us to attack. We made a halt during the last part of the night to rest and then we attacked from all sides and reached their watering-place where a battle was fought. Some of the enemies were killed and some were taken prisoners. I saw a group of persons that consisted of women and children. I was afraid lest they should reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stopped. So I brought them, driving them along. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia. I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) met me in the street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the next day the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) again met me in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for you, Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) sent her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca.
