2689. It was reported from Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said to the captives of Badr: "If Muṭ'im bin 'Adī was alive and spoke to me on behalf of those filthy ones, I would have freed them for him." (Sahih)
2689 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأُسَارَى بَدْرٍ: «لَوْ كَانَ مُطْعِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَيًّا، ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي فِي هَؤُلَاءِ النَّتْنَى لَأَطْلَقْتُهُمْ لَهُ»
