2846. It was narrated from Ayâs bin Salamah bin Akwa' that his father said: "We attacked,
Hawâzin at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ with Abu Bakr. He awarded me a slave girl from Banu Fazârah, among the most beautiful of the Arabs, who was wearing an animal skin of hers. I did not divest her of her clothing until I reached Al-Madinah. Then the Prophet ﷺ met me in the marketplace, and said: 'By Allâh, give her to me.' So I gave her to him, and he sent her as a ransom for some of the Muslim prisoners who were in Makkah." (Sahih)
