أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حَصِينٍ

أَنَّ ثَقِيفًا كَانَتْ حُلَفَاءَ لِبَنِي عُقَيْلٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عُقَيْلٍ وَمَعَهُ نَاقَةٌ لَهُ فَأَتَوْا بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ «بِمَا أَخَذَتْنِي وَأَخَذْتَ سَابِقَةَ الْحَاجِّ» قَالَ «أَخَذْتُ بِجَرِيرَةِ حُلَفَائِكَ ثَقِيفٍ وَكَانُوا أَسَرُوا رَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَمُرُّ وَهُوَ مَحْبُوسٌ» فَيَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ «إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ» قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتَ قُلْتَ وَأَنْتَ تَمْلِكُ أَمْرَكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَفْلَحْتَ كُلَّ الْفَلَاحِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَفْدِيَهُ بِالثَّقَفِيِّينَ فَفَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَمْسَكَ النَّاقَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ»

✧ Thaqif were allies of Banu Uqayl in pre-Islamic times. The Muslims captured a man from Banu Uqayl who had a she-camel with him. They brought him to the Prophet ﷺ. He said, 'O Muhammad, why have you captured me and taken the leading she-camel of the pilgrims?' He said, 'I captured you because of the crime of your allies Thaqif, for they had captured two Muslim men.' The Prophet ﷺ passed by while he was imprisoned, and he would say, 'O Muhammad, I am a Muslim.' He said, 'If you had said that when you were in control of your affair, you would have succeeded completely.' Then it occurred to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ransom him for the two Thaqafis, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ransomed him for two Muslim men and kept the she-camel for himself.
