Mishkat al-Masabih 3803

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: about the prisoners taken at Badr, “If al-Mutim ibn Adi* had been alive and spoken to me about these filthy ones, I would have left them for him.” * He was head of the B. Naufal. He agreed to give Muhammad protection after his return from at-Taif where he had gone after Abu Talib’s death. Al-Mutim died before the battle of Badr. He did not become a Muslim.
