When the delegates of the tribe of Hawâzin after embracing Islâm, came to Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) he got up. ' They appealed to him to return their properties and their captives. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "The most beloved statement to me is the true one. So, you have the option of restoring your properties or your captives, for I have delayed distributing them, "" (The narrator added), Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) had been waiting for them for more than ten days on his return from. When they realized that Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) would return to them only one of the two things, they said, "We choose our captives." So, Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) got up in the gathering of the Muslims, praised Allâh as He deserved, and said, "Then after ! These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance (asking for Allâh's Forgiveness) and I see it proper to return their captives to them. So, whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favour, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first booty which Allâh will give us then he can do so." The people replied, "We agree to give up our shares willingly as a favour for Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) The Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We don't know who amongst you has agreed and who hasn't. Go back and your chiefs may tell us your opinion." So, all of them returned and their chiefs discussed the matter with them and then they (i.e. their chiefs) came to Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell him that they (i.e. the people) had given up their shares gladly and willingly.
