It has also been claimed that she emigrated with her father, but the report is not sound.
Al-Bazzār relates: Sahl ibn Baḥr narrated to us; al-Ḥasan ibn al-Rabīʿ narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak narrated to us, from Ibn Luhayʿah; Bukayr ibn al-Ashajj informed us, from Sulaymān ibn Yasār, from Abū Hurayrah:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched a detachment, and I was among them. He said, ‘If you come across Habbār ibn al-Aswad and Nāfiʿ ibn ʿAbd ʿAmr, set them both on fire.’
The two of them had jabbed at Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, as she was leaving, and she continued to suffer from that internal injury (1) until she died.
He then said, ‘If you encounter them, kill them both; for no one has the right to inflict the punishment of Allah.’ (2)"
Khadija had given that necklace to her daughter Zaynab when she accompanied her to Abu al-As on the night the marriage was consummated. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he was deeply moved and said: “If you think it proper, release her prisoner and return to her what belongs to her.” The hadith was declared sound, a judgment with which al-Dhahabi concurred; this is justified, for Ibn Ishaq expressly stated that he heard it directly.
(1) In other words, she was chronically incapacitated; the word comes from ḍabnah, meaning a permanent illness.
(2) The chain of transmission is strong, because the narrator who transmits from Ibn Lahiʿa is ʿAbd Allah b. al-Mubarak, who heard him before his notebooks were burnt. Al-Hafiz lists the report in al-Isaba 10/233 and attributes it to Muhammad b. ʿUthman b. Abi Shayba in his History. Ibn Ishaq included it in al-Maghazi and Ibn Hisham reproduced it (1/657) with the wording: “Yazid b. Abi Habib told me, from Bukayr b. al-Ashajj, from Sulayman b. Yasar, from Abu Ishaq al-Dawsi, from Abu Hurayra” — but Abu Ishaq al-Dawsi is unknown. Al-Bukhari also records it (6/104, Book of Jihad, ‘Do not punish with the punishment of Allah’), as does al-Tirmidhi (no. 1571, Book of Military Expeditions) through Qutayba → al-Layth → Bukayr → Sulayman b. Yasar → Abu Hurayra: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on an expedition and said, ‘If you find so-and-so and so-and-so, burn them with fire.’ When we were about to depart, he added, ‘I had ordered you to burn so-and-so and so-and-so, but no one punishes with fire except Allah; if you find them, kill them.’”
Consult also Ibn Hisham’s Sirah 1/654; al-Mustadrak 4/43; Majmaʿ al-Zawaʾid 9/212-213; and al-Bukhari’s al-Tarikh al-Saghir 1/7-8.
As for Hibar b. al-Aswad, he later accepted Islam. Sunan Saʿid b. Mansur relates, through Ibn ʿUyayna → Ibn Najih, that the expedition never reached him; instead Islam reached him, so he emigrated, and his conversion is recounted there. Al-Hafiz states in Fath al-Bari (6/105) that he possesses one hadith in the Musnad of al-Tabarani and another in Ibn Manda; al-Bukhari, in his History, records from Sulayman b. Yasar an incident involving him and ʿUmar during the pilgrimage. He lived …
