Musnad Ahmad 2216

Translation

✧ Some of the captives on the day of Badr had no ransom, so the Messenger of God ﷺ made their ransom that they teach the children of the Ansar to write. He said: One day a boy came crying to his father, who said: "What is the matter with you?" He said: "My teacher beat me." He said: "The wicked one seeks revenge for Badr. By God, you will never go to him again."
