Marwan and Al Miswar bin Makhramah told that when the deputation of the Hawazin came to the Muslims and asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to return to them their property, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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), Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
