| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-28632 | | Narrated Zubayb Ibn Thalabah AlAnbari: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army to Banu AlAnbar. They captured them at Rukbah in the suburbs of AlTaif and drove them to the Holy Prophet ﷺ. I rode hurriedly to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and said: Peace be on you; Messenger of Allah; and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Your contingent came to us and arrested us; but we had already embraced Islam and cut the sides of the ears of our cattle. When Banu AlAnbar arrived; the Holy Prophet ﷺ said to me: Have you any evidence that you had embraced Islam before you were captured today? I said: Yes. He said: Who is your witness? I said: Samurah; a man from Banu AlAnbar; and another man whom he named. The man testified but Samurah refused to testify. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: He Samurah has refused to testify for you; so take an oath with your other witness. I said: Yes. He then dictated an oath to me and I swore to the effect that we had embraced Islam on a certain day; and that we had cut the sides of the ears of the cattle. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: Go and divide half of their property; but do not touch their children. Had Allah not disliked the wastage of action; we should not have taxed you even a rope. Zubayb said: My mother called me and said: This man has taken my mattress. I then went to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said to me: Detain him. So I caught him with a garment around his neck; and stood there with him. Then the Holy Prophet ﷺ looked at us standing there. He asked: What do you intend doing with your captive? I said: I shall let him go free if he returns to this man the mattress of his mother which he has taken from her. He said: Prophet of Allah ﷺ ; I no longer have it. He said: The Holy Prophet ﷺ took the sword of the man and gave it to me; and said to him: Go and give him some sa of cereal. So he gave me some sa of barley. | The Chapter on Almaghazi And Hunain in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Judgement on the basis of oath and one witness in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29726 | | Abu Huraira said The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ sent some horsemen to Najd and they brought a man of the Banu Hanifah called Thumamah bint Uthal who was the chief of the people of AlYamamah and bound him to one of the pillars of the Masjid. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ came out to him and said What are you expecting; Thumamah?. He replied I expect good; Muhammad. If you kill me ; you will kill one whose blood will be avenged; if you show favor; you will show it to one who is grateful and if you want property and ask you will be given as much of it as you wish. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ left him till the following day and asked him What are you expecting; Thumamah? He repeated the same words in reply. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ left him till the day after the following one and he mentioned the same words. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ then said Set Thumamah free. He went off to some palm trees near the Masjid. He took a bath there and entered the Masjid and said I testify that there is no god but Allaah and I testify that Muhammd is His servant and His apostle. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. The narrator Isa said AlLaith narrated to us. He said a man of respect and reverence. | The Chapter on Directions And Dreams in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding Shackling Captives in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29764 | | Abu Qatadah said We went out with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ in the year of Hunain. And when the armies met; the Muslims suffered a reverse. I saw one of the polytheists prevailing over a Muslim; so I went round him till I came to him from behind and struck him with my sword at the vein between his neck and shoulder. He came towards me and closed with me; so that I felt death was near; but he was overtaken by death and let me go. I then caught upon on Umar Bin AlKhattab and said to him What is the matter with the people? He said It is what Allaah has commanded. Then the people returned and the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ sat down and said If anyone kills a man and can prove it; he will get his spoil. I stood up and said Who will testify for me? I then sat down. He said again If anyone kills a man and can prove it; he will get his spoil. I stood up and said Who will testify for me? I then sat down. He then said the same for the third time. I then stood up. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said What is the matter with you; Abu Qatadah? I told him the story. A man from the people said He has spoken the truth; and I have this spoil with me; so make him agreeable to take something in exchange. Abu Bakr said In that case I swear by Allaah that he must not do so. One of the Allaahs heroes does not fight for Allaah and his Apostle and then give you his spoil. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said He has spoken the truth; hand it over to him. Abu Qatadah said he handed it over to me; I sold the coat of mail and brought a garden among Banu Salamh. This was the first property I acquired in the Islamic period. | The Chapter on Truth And Hypocrisy And Islam And Forgiveness in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding The Salab Spoils Being Given To The Person Who Killed in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
