Volume 7, Book 63, Number 210:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The pagans were of two kinds as regards their relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some
of them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used to fight against, and they used to
fight him; the others were those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and neither did the Prophet
fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the first group of pagans emigrated towards the
Muslims, her hand would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then became
clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get married, and if her husband emig –

they would have the same rights as given to other emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the

pagans involved with the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid’s narration. If a male
slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made a treaty with the Muslims, they
would not be returned, but their prices would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: Qariba,
the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab. ‘Umar divorced her and then
Mu’awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her. Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the
wife of ‘Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He divorced her and then ‘Abdullah bin ‘Uthman Al-Thaqafi mar –
ried her.
