Marwan and AlMiswar Bin Makhramah told that when the deputation of the Hawazin came to the Muslims and asked the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ to return to them their property; the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to them with me are those whom you see. The speech dearest to me is the one which is true; so choose one of the two either the captives or the property. They said We choose our captives. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ stood up; extolled Allaah and then said To proceed; your brethren have come repentant I have considered that I should return their captives to them; so let those of you who are willing to release the captives act accordingly; but those who wish to hold on to what they have till we give them some of the first booty Allaah gives us may do so. The people said We are willing for that to release their captives ; Apostle of Allaah. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said We cannot distinguish between those of you who have granted that and those who have not ; so return till your headmen may tell us about your affair. The people then returned and their headmen spoke to them; then they informed that they were agreeable and had given their permission.
