2677 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُقَادُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فِي السَّلَاسِلِ»

Commentary
Meaning those disbelievers who are captured and chained by the Muslim military, but then they later accept Islam, as a result of which they are admitted to Paradise. We can deduce from the contents of the Hadīth that chaining captives is permissible in war. The Hadīth has also been interpreted to refer to those Muslims that are taken captive and chained, then either die or are assassinated in captivity.
