Ibn Isḥāq said: The only reason the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the killing of Abū al-Bukhturī is that, while in Mecca, he had been the one who most held the people back from harming the Messenger of Allah.

Al-ʿAbbās paid the highest ransom of all the captives, for he was wealthy; he ransomed himself for one hundred awqiyahs (ounces) of gold.

She was carried away, and the clans of Banū Hāshim and Banū Umayyah disputed over her. Banū Umayyah said, “We have the stronger claim to her,” for she was the wife of Abū al-ʿĀṣ.
