Narrated to us ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿUmar ibn Maysarah al-Qawārīrī: narrated to us Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ: narrated to us Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūbah, from Qatādah, from Ṣāliḥ Abī al-Khalīl, from Abī ʿAlqamah al-Hāshimī, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of Ḥunayn sent an army to Awtās. They encountered the enemy, fought them, and prevailed over them, taking captives from them. It seemed that some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, felt reluctant to have relations with those captive women because of their husbands among the polytheists. So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed concerning that: "And [also forbidden are] the married women among the women, except what your right hands possess" — meaning, they are lawful for you once their waiting period has ended.
