حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ کَتَبْتُ إِلَی نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ دُعَائِ الْمُشْرِکِينَ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ فَکَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ ذَلِکَ کَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَقَدْ أَغَارَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَی عَلَی الْمَائِ فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَسَبَی سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِکَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَکَانَ فِي ذَلِکَ الْجَيْشِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هَذَا حَدِيثٌ نَبِيلٌ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ وَلَمْ يُشْرِکْهُ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2633
Ibn Awn said “I wrote to Nafi asking him about summoning the polytheists (to Islam) at the time of fighting. So, he wrote to me “This was in the early days of Islam. The Prophet of Allaah ﷺ attacked Banu Al Mustaliq while they were inattentive and their cattle were drinking water. So their fighters were killed and the survivors (i. e., women and children) were taken prisoners. On that day Juwairiyyah daughter of Al Harith was obtained. Abd Allaah narrated this to me, he was in that army. ” Abu Dawud said “This is a good tradition narrtted by Ibn Awn from Nafi and no one shared him in narrating it. ”
