English translation

2690. It was reported from Simāk Al-Hanafi who said: "Ibn 'Abbās narrated to me, he said: " 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "On the day of (the battle of) Badr, the Prophet ﷺ accepted ransom, so Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among the enemies) in the land...' up to His saying: '... (a severe torment) would have touched you for what you took...' [1] of the ransom, then (later) Allāh made the spoils of war lawful for them." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: I heard Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal being asked Abū Nuḥ's (one of the narrators) name: He said: "What do you want to do with his name? His name is a bad one." Abū Dāwūd said: His name is Qurād, and what is correct is that his name is 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Gazwān. [2]
