حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ لَمَّا قَفَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ سَأَلَ عُمَرُ عَنْ نَذْرٍ كَانَ نَذَرَهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ اعْتِكَافُ يَوْمٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ وَبَعَثَ مَعِي بِجَارِيَةٍ كَانَ أَصَابَهَا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُهَا فِي بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ الْأَعْرَابِ حِينَ نَزَلْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسَبْيِ حُنَيْنٍ قَدْ خَرَجُوا يَسْعَوْنَ يَقُولُونَ أَعْتَقَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ اذْهَبْ فَأَرْسِلْهَا قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَأَرْسَلْتُهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4922
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: When the Prophet (PBUH) left Hunayn, 'Umar asked about a vow that he had made during the Jaahiliyyah to observe itikaaf for one day, and he told him to fulfil it. Then Ibn 'Umar went on ahead of him. He said: He sent with me a slave woman who had fallen to his lot on the day of Hunayn and said: Put her is one of the tents of the Bedouin when we halt. Then I saw the prisoners of Hunayn who had come out and were saying: The Messenger of Allah ((PBUH) has set us free! 'Umar said to 'Abdullah: Go and release her. So I went and released her.
