و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ أَنَّ أَبَا عَلْقَمَةَ الْهَاشِمِيَّ حَدَّثَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ سَرِيَّةً بِمَعْنَی حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِلَّا مَا مَلَکَتْ أَيْمَانُکُمْ مِنْهُنَّ فَحَلَالٌ لَکُمْ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهُنَّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3609
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah her pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace te upon him) seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that: And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24) (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).
