3612. 'Ammār bin Shu'āith bin ['Ubaid] Allāh bin Az-Zubaib Al-'Anbarī narrated: My father narrated to me: I heard my
grandfather Az-Zubaib say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent an army to Banū Al-'Anbar and they captured them in Rukbah, in the environs of Aṭ-Tā'if, and brought them to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ. I rode and went ahead of them to the Prophet ﷺ. I said: 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allāh, and the mercy of Allāh and His blessings. Your troops came to us and captured us, but we had already accepted Islam, and we cut the sides of the ears of our cattle.' When Banū Al-'Anbar came, the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof that you had accepted Islam before you were captured during these days?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Who is your witness?' I said: 'Samurah, a man from Banū Al-'Anbar,' and another man whom he named. The man bore witness, but Samurah refused to bear witness. The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: 'He has refused to bear witness, so you may swear an oath with your other witness.' I said: 'Yes.' He asked me to swear an oath, and I swore by Allāh that we had accepted Islam on such and such a day, and we had cut the sides of the ears of our cattle. The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Go and take half of their wealth, but do not touch their children. Were it not that Allāh, Most High, does not like efforts to be wasted, we would not have taken even a rope from you.'" Az-Zubaib said: "My mother called me and said: 'This man took my rug.' I went to the
Prophet of Allāh ﷺ and told him, and he said to me: 'Detain him.' I collared him and stood with him where we were, and the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ looked at us standing there, and said: 'What do you intend to do with your prisoner?' I let him go, and the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ stood up and said to the man: 'Give this man back his mother's rug that you took from her.' He said: 'O Prophet of Allāh, it is no longer in my possession.' So the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ took the man's sword, and gave it to me, and he said to the man: 'Go and give him some Ṣā' of food as well.' So he gave me some Ṣā' of barley as well." (Ḍa'īf)
