Historical Account
they fled from the field of battle, and they imprisoned many men. Salmahra narrates that among the group of people that fled was a party of women and children, who were quickly moving towards a nearby mountain. He began to shoot arrows between the mountain and them, upon which this party became frightened and stopped and they imprisoned them. Among these prisoners was an elderly lady who had covered herself with a mantle of red skin. She also had her beautiful daughter with her. He surrounded these people and brought them before Ḥaḍrat Abū Bakrra, who entrusted this girl to his guardianship. When they later reached Madīnah, the Holy Prophetsa took this girl from him and sent her to Makkah, and in lieu he sought the freedom of a few Muslims prisoners who had been detained by the people of Makkah.
