We went out with Abu Bakr, whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had appointed as commander over us, and we raided Fazarah. We launched a sudden attack, and I looked towards a group of people that included children and women. I shot an arrow which fell between them and the mountain, so they stopped. I brought them to Abu Bakr, and among them was a woman from Fazarah wearing a leather garment, along with a daughter of hers who was one of the most beautiful women among the Arabs. Abu Bakr awarded her daughter to me as booty.
When I arrived in Medina, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met me and said to me, "O Salamah, give me the woman." I said, "By Allah, she has captivated me, and I have not yet removed her garment." He remained silent. The next day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met me in the market and said, "O Salamah, give her to me, may Allah have mercy on your father." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have not yet removed her garment, and she is yours." So he sent her to the people of Mecca, and they had Muslim prisoners in their hands, so he ransomed them for that woman.
