English translation

2680. It was reported from Yahyā bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sa'd bin Zurarah, who said: "When the captives arrived, Sawdah bint Zam'ah was with the family of 'Afrā', at the halting place for their camels, with 'Awf and Mu'awwidh the sons of 'Afrā'. This happened before the Hijāb was prescribed. Sawdah said: 'By Allāh! I was with them, and when I came from them (the family of 'Afrā'), I was told: "These people are the captives that have just arrived." I returned to my house, and the Messenger of Allāh was in it, and Abū Yazid — Suhail bin 'Amr — was in a corner of the room, his hands tied up to his neck with a rope.” Then he mentioned the rest of the Hadīth. (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: And they (‘Awf and Mu‘awwidh) killed Abū Jahl bin Hishām. They had deputed themselves to kill him while they did not know him, and they killed him at the battle of Badr.

2680 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قُدِمَ بِالْأُسَارَى حِينَ قُدِمَ بِهِمْ وَسَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ عِنْدَ آلِ عَفْرَاءَ فِي مَنَاحَتِهِمْ عَلَى عَوْفٍ، وَمُعَوِّذٍ ابْنَيْ عَفْرَاءَ - قَالَ: وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحِجَابُ - قَالَ: تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ: " وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَعِنْدَهُمْ إِذْ أَتَيْتُ فَقِيلَ: هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُسَارَى قَدْ أُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ، وَإِذَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ مَجْمُوعَةٌ يَدَاهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ بِحَبْلٍ "، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَهُمَا قَتَلَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَا انْتَدَبَا لَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفَاهُ، وَقُتِلَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ»
