Musnad Ahmad 3310

Translation

✧ The one who captured al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib was Abu al-Yasar b. Amr, who is Ka'b b. Amr, one of the Banu Salima. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "How did you capture him, O Abu al-Yasar?" He said: "A man helped me against him whom I have not seen before or since; his appearance was such-and-such, his appearance was such-and-such." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A noble angel helped you against him." And he said to al-Abbas: "O Abbas, ransom yourself, and your nephew Aqil b. Abi Talib, and Nawfal b. al-Harith, and your ally Utba b. Jahdam, one of the Banu al-Harith b. Fihr." He refused and said: "I was already a Muslim before that, and they only forced me." He said: "Allah knows best about your affair. If what you claim is true, Allah will reward you for it, but as for your outward situation, you were against us, so ransom yourself." The Messenger of Allah had taken twenty uqiyyas of gold with him, so he said: "O Messenger of Allah, count it for me toward my ransom." He said: "No, that is something Allah gave us from you." He said: "But I have no wealth." He said: "Then where is the wealth you placed in Makkah when you departed, with Umm al-Fadl, when no one else was with you two? You said: 'If I am struck down on this journey of mine, then for al-Fadl is such-and-such, for Qutham such-and-such, and for Abdullah such-and-such.'" He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, no one among the people knew of this except me and her, and I know that you are the Messenger of Allah."
