“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Once captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, from Yemen. When they arrived at al-Juhfah, their supplies depleted and they sold one girl from the captives whose mother was with them. When they came to the Holy Prophet, he heard her crying and he asked, ‘What for is this crying?’ They replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, our supplies depleted, so we sold her daughter.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) sent what was paid for her and brought her back. He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘You must sell them together or keep them together.’”
