The Great Expedition of Badr
[ الَّذِينَ أَطْلَقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ فِدَاءٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَكَانَ مِمَّنْ سُمِّيَ لَنَا مِنْ الْأُسَارَى مِمَّنْ مُنَّ عَلَيْهِ بِغَيْرِ فِدَاءٍ، مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ: أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسِ مَنَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَنْ بُعِثَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِفِدَائِهِ. وَمِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومِ ( بْنِ يَقَظَةَ ): الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ حَنْطَبِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ، كَانَ لِبَعْضِ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، فَتَرَكَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى خَلَّوْا سَبِيلَهُ. فَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَسَرَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ( الْأَنْصَارِيُّ )، أَخُو بَنِي النَّجَّارِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَصَيْفِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ عَابِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ، تُرِكَ فِي أَيْدِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ أَحَدٌ فِي فِدَائِهِ أَخَذُوا عَلَيْهِ لِيَبْعَثُنَّ إلَيْهِمْ بِفِدَائِهِ، فَخَلَّوْا سَبِيلَهُ، فَلَمْ يَفِ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي ذَلِكَ: : وَمَا كَانَ صَيْفِيٌّ لِيُوفِيَ ذِمَّةً قَفَا ثَعْلَبٍ أَعْيَا بِبَعْضِ الْمَوَارِدِ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَأَبُو عَزَّةَ، عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أُهَيْبِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ جُمَحَ، كَانَ مُحْتَاجًا ذَا بَنَاتٍ، فَكَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَقَدْ عَرَفْتَ مَا لِي مِنْ مَالٍ، وَإِنِّي لَذُو حَاجَةٍ، وَذُو عِيَالٍ، فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ، فَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَخَذَ عَلَيْهِ أَلَّا يُظَاهِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدًا فَقَالَ أَبُو عَزَّةَ فِي ذَلِكَ، يَمْدَحُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَيَذْكُرُ فَضْلَهُ فِي قَوْمِهِ: : مَنْ مُبَلِّغٌ عَنِّي الرَّسُولَ مُحَمَّدًا بِأَنَّكَ حَقٌّ وَالْمَلِيكُ حَمِيدُ وَأَنْتَ امْرُؤٌ تَدْعُو فِي الْحَقِّ وَالْهُدَى عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ شَهِيدُ وَأَنْتَ امْرُؤُ بُوِّئْتَ فِينَا مَبَاءَةً لَهَا دَرَجَاتٌ سَهْلَةٌ وَصُعُودُ فَإِنَّكَ مَنْ حَارَبْتَهُ لَمُحَارَبٌ شَقِيٌّ وَمَنْ سَالَمَتْهُ لَسَعِيدُ وَلَكِنْ إذَا ذُكِّرْتُ بَدْرًا وَأَهْلَهُ تَأَوَّبَ مَا بِي: حَسْرَةٌ وَقُعُودُ [ ثَمَنُ الْفِدَاءِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: كَانَ فِدَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ لِلرَّجُلِ، إلَى أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، إلَّا مَنْ لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ، فَمَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ.
Translation
✧ [ Those released without ransom ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Among the captives who were named for us as those who were granted favor without ransom, from the Banū ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf: Abū al-ʿĀṣ b. al-Rabīʿ b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. ʿAbd Shams. The Messenger of God ﷺ granted him favor after Zaynab bt. the Messenger of God ﷺ sent his ransom. And from the Banū Makhzūm (b. Yaqaẓa): al-Muṭṭalib b. Ḥanṭab b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿUbayda b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm. He belonged to some of the Banū al-Ḥārith b. al-Khazraj, so he remained in their hands until they let him go. Then he joined his people. Ibn Hishām said: Khālid b. Zayd, Abū Ayyūb (al-Anṣārī), brother of the Banū al-Najjār, captured him. Ibn Isḥāq said: And Ṣayfī b. Abī Rifāʿa b. ʿĀbid b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm was left in the hands of his captors. When no one came with his ransom, they took a pledge from him that he would send them his ransom, so they let him go, but he did not fulfill anything for them. Ḥassān b. Thābit said about that: : What was Ṣayfī to fulfill a covenant? The track of a fox that was exhausted at some of the watering places. Ibn Hishām said: This verse is among verses of his. Ibn Isḥāq said: And Abū ʿAzza, ʿAmr b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUthmān b. Uhayb b. Ḥudhāfa b. Jumaḥ, was needy and had daughters. He spoke to the Messenger of God ﷺ, saying: O Messenger of God, you have known what wealth I have, and I am in need and have a family, so grant me favor. The Messenger of God ﷺ granted him favor and took a pledge from him that he would not aid anyone against him. Abū ʿAzza said about that, praising the Messenger of God ﷺ and mentioning his virtue among his people: : Who will convey from me to the Messenger Muḥammad that you are true and the Sovereign is praiseworthy? And you are a man who calls to truth and guidance; upon you is a witness from God the Great. And you are a man who was lodged among us in a station that has easy and steep steps. For you, whoever you war against is warred against and wretched, and whoever you make peace with is fortunate. But when I am reminded of Badr and its people, what returns to me is regret and sitting still. [ The ransom price ] Ibn Hishām said: The ransom of the polytheists on that day was four thousand dirhams per man, down to one thousand dirhams, except for one who had nothing, upon whom the Messenger of God ﷺ bestowed favor.
