The capture of Abū al-ʿĀṣ b. al-Rabīʿ
[ سَبَبُ زَوَاجِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ مِنْ رِجَالِ مَكَّةَ الْمَعْدُودِينَ: مَالًا، وَأَمَانَةً، وَتِجَارَةً، وَكَانَ لِهَالَةَ بِنْتِ خُوَيْلِدٍ، وَكَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ خَالَتَهُ. فَسَأَلَتْ خَدِيجَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا يُخَالِفُهَا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ، فَزَوَّجَهُ، وَكَانَتْ تَعُدُّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ وَلَدِهَا. فَلَمَّا أَكْرَمَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ بِنُبُوَّتِهِ آمَنَتْ بِهِ خَدِيجَةُ وَبَنَاتُهُ، فَصَدَّقَتْهُ، وَشَهِدْنَ أَنَّ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ الْحَقُّ، وَدِنَّ بِدِينِهِ، وَثَبَتَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ عَلَى شِرْكِهِ
Translation
✧ [The reason for the marriage of Abū al-ʿĀṣ to Zaynab] Ibn Isḥāq said: Abū al-ʿĀṣ was one of the men of Makkah who were counted among those of wealth, trustworthiness, and trade. He was the son of Hālah bt. Khuwaylid, and Khadījah was his maternal aunt. Khadījah asked the Messenger of God ﷺ to marry him to her, and the Messenger of God ﷺ did not oppose her, and that was before the revelation came to him. So he married him to her, and she regarded him as being in the position of her own son. When God honored His Messenger ﷺ with his prophethood, Khadījah and his daughters believed in him and affirmed him, and they bore witness that what he brought was the truth, and they entered his religion. But Abū al-ʿĀṣ remained firm in his polytheism.
