Zayd ibn Haritha's detachment to Madyan and the captives
سرية زيد بن حارثة إلى مدين وقصة السبي
c. 628 CE · c. 6 AH
Ibn Hisham tells it from Abdullah ibn Hasan ibn Hasan from his mother Fatima bint al-Husayn: the Prophet ﷺ sent Zayd ibn Haritha (may God be pleased with him) towards Madyan with Dumayra, the client of Ali ibn Abi Talib (may God be pleased with him), and a brother of his; he took captives from the people of Mina', the coasts, who were sold and separated; the Prophet came out as they wept, asked what ailed them, was told they had been separated, and said: sell them only together. Ibn Hisham: he meant mothers and children.
