The division of the spoils of Banū Qurayẓa
[ شَأْنُ رَيْحَانَةَ في غزوة بني قريظة ] ( قَالَ ): وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ اصْطَفَى لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ رَيْحَانَةَ بِنْتَ عَمْرِو بْنِ خُنَافَةَ، إحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ قُرَيْظَةَ، فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ فِي مِلْكِهِ، وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَرَضَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا، وَيَضْرِبَ عَلَيْهَا الْحِجَابَ؛ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، بَلْ تَتْرُكُنِي فِي مِلْكِكَ، فَهُوَ أَخَفُّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْكَ، فَتَرَكَهَا. وَقَدْ كَانَتْ حِينَ سَبَاهَا قَدْ تَعَصَّتْ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَبَتْ إلَّا الْيَهُودِيَّةَ، فَعَزَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَوَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ لِذَلِكَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا. فَبَيْنَا هُوَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ، إذْ سَمِعَ وَقْعَ نَعْلَيْنِ خَلْفَهُ؛ فَقَالَ: إنَّ هَذَا لِثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ سَعْيَةَ يُبَشِّرُنِي بِإِسْلَامِ رَيْحَانَةَ؛ فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ أَسْلَمَتْ رَيْحَانَةُ، فَسَرَّهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا
Translation
✧ [The affair of Rayḥānah in the expedition of Banū Qurayẓah] (He said): The Messenger of God ﷺ had chosen for himself from their women Rayḥānah bt. ʿAmr b. Khunāfah, one of the women of Banū ʿAmr b. Qurayẓah. She remained with the Messenger of God ﷺ until he passed away, while she was in his possession. The Messenger of God ﷺ had offered her that he marry her and impose the veil upon her, but she said: “O Messenger of God, rather leave me in your possession, for it is lighter upon me and upon you.” So he left her. When she was taken captive, she had held back from Islam and refused anything but Judaism, so the Messenger of God ﷺ set her aside and felt distressed in himself about her affair. While he was with his companions, he heard the sound of two sandals behind him and said: “This is Thaʿlabah b. Saʿyah bringing me the good news of Rayḥānah’s Islam.” He came to him and said: “O Messenger of God, Rayḥānah has embraced Islam.” That pleased him concerning her affair.
