1142. ‘Amr bin Shu‘aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ returned his daughter Zainab to Abul-‘Ās bin Ar-Rabī‘ with a new dowry and a new wedding.” (Da‘if)
(Abū ‘Eisā said:) There is some criticism regarding the chain of this Hadīth (and there is some criticism regarding the other Hadīth as well). And this is acted upon according to the people of knowledge; when the woman accepts Islām before her husband, then if her husband accepts Islām while she is in her Iddah, then her husband has more right to her while she is in her Iddah. This is the view of Mālik bin Anas, Al-Awzā‘ī, Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
Maulāna Saṣṣur-Raḥman, in his book Tajalliyāt-i-Nubbuwat, on page 177 writes that the Prophet ﷺ returned his daughter Zainab to her husband. This return took place after the separation of three years. The reason is that the Qur’anic Verse regarding the revocation of marriage of unbelievers with Muslim women was not revealed yet, so the marriage was intact. Abul-‘Ās was captured as a prisoner in the year 6 A.H on 6th of Jumada Al-Awwal on his return from Shām. He was released on the intercession of Zainab. After his release he went to Makkah and returned all the entrusted things to their owners and migrated to Al-Madīnah, there he accepted Islam.
