The Great Expedition of Badr
[ أَبُو الْعَاصِ عِنْدَ الرَّسُولِ وَبَعْثُ زَيْنَبَ فِي فِدَائِهِ ] وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا يُحِلُّ بِمَكَّةَ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُ، مَغْلُوبًا عَلَى أَمْرِهِ، وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَدْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَسْلَمَتْ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، إلَّا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَأَقَامَتْ مَعَهُ عَلَى إسْلَامِهَا وَهُوَ عَلَى شِرْكِهِ، حَتَّى هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إلَى بَدْرٍ، صَارَ فِيهِمْ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ فَأُصِيبَ فِي الْأُسَارَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَكَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَمَّا بَعَثَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فِي فِدَاءِ أُسَرَائِهِمْ، بَعَثَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي فِدَاءِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ بِمَالٍ، وَبَعَثَتْ فِيهِ بِقِلَادَةٍ لَهَا كَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ أَدْخَلَتْهَا بِهَا عَلَى أَبِي الْعَاصِ حِينَ بَنَى عَلَيْهَا، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَقَّ لَهَا رِقَّةً شَدِيدَةً وَقَالَ: إنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُطْلِقُوا لَهَا أَسِيرَهَا، وَتَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهَا مَالَهَا، فَافْعَلُوا فَقَالُوا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَأَطْلَقُوهُ، وَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهَا الَّذِي لَهَا.
Translation
✧ [Abū al-ʿĀṣ with the Messenger and Zaynab’s sending for his ransom] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not make lawful or unlawful in Makkah, being overruled in his affair. Islam had separated between Zaynab bt. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when she became Muslim and Abū al-ʿĀṣ b. al-Rabīʿ, except that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not able to separate between them. So she remained with him upon her Islam while he was upon his polytheism, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emigrated. When Quraysh went to Badr, Abū al-ʿĀṣ b. al-Rabīʿ went among them, and he was taken among the captives on the day of Badr. He was in Madinah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Isḥāq said: Yaḥyā b. ʿAbbād b. ʿAbd Allah b. al-Zubayr narrated to me, from his father ʿAbbād, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: When the people of Makkah sent for the ransom of their captives, Zaynab bt. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for the ransom of Abū al-ʿĀṣ b. al-Rabīʿ with wealth, and she sent in it a necklace of hers which Khadījah had given her to wear when she was given in marriage to Abū al-ʿĀṣ. She said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he felt intense compassion for her and said: “If you see fit to release her captive to her and return her wealth to her, then do so.” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” So they released him and returned to her what was hers.
