حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَمَّا بَعَثَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فِي فِدَاءِ أُسَارَاهُمْ بَعَثَتَ زَيْنَبُ ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي فِدَاءِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بِمَالٍ وَبَعَثَتْ فِيهِ بِقِلَادَةٍ كَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ أَدْخَلَتْهَا بِهَا عَلَى أَبِي الْعَاصِ حِينَ بَنَى عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تِلْكَ الْقِلَادَةَ رَقَّ لَهَا رِقَّةً شَدِيدَةً وَقَالَ «إِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُطْلِقُوا أَسِيرَهَا وَتَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهَا الَّذِي لَهَا فَافْعَلُوا» فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَطْلَقُوهُ وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ الَّذِي لَهَا وَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَبُو الْعَاصِ مُقِيمًا عَلَى شِرْكِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ قُبَيْلَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ خَرَجَ بِتِجَارَةٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ بِأَمْوَالٍ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ قُرَيْشٍ أَبْضَعُوهَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ تِجَارَتِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ قَافِلًا لَقِيَتْهُ سَرِيَّةٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقِيلَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي وَجَّهَ السَّرِيَّةَ لِلْعِيرِ الَّتِي فِيهَا أَبُو الْعَاصِ قَافِلَةً مِنَ الشَّامِ وَكَانُوا سَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةَ رَاكِبٍ أَمِيرُهُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ وَذَلِكَ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ فَأَخَذُوا مَا فِي تِلْكَ الْعِيرِ مِنَ الْأَثْقَالِ وَأَسَرُوا أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْعِيرِ فَأَعْجَزَهُمْ أَبُو الْعَاصِ هَرَبًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتِ السَّرِيَّةُ بِمَا أَصَابُوا أَقْبَلَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي طَلَبِ مَالِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَجَارَ بِهَا فَأَجَارَتْهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ

✧ From Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, she said: When the people of Makkah sent to ransom their captives, Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, sent to ransom Abu al-As with wealth, and she sent with it a necklace that Khadija had given her when she married Abu al-As. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that necklace, he felt great tenderness and said, 'If you see fit to release her captive and return to her what belongs to her, then do so.' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' So they released him and returned to her what belonged to her. Abu al-As remained in his polytheism until just before the conquest of Makkah, when he went out with merchandise to Syria with funds belonging to Quraysh that they had entrusted to him. When he finished his trade and was returning, a raiding party of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met him. It is said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the one who dispatched the raiding party against the caravan in which Abu al-As was returning from Syria. They were one hundred and seventy riders, led by Zayd ibn Haritha, in Jumada al-Ula in the year six of the Hijra. They seized the goods in that caravan and captured some of its people, but Abu al-As eluded them by flight. When the raiding party arrived with what they had taken, Abu al-As came by night seeking his property until he entered upon Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and sought her protection, and she granted it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out for the dawn prayer and said the takbir, the people said the takbir with him.
