Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ أَصَبْنَا نِسَاءً مِنْ سَبْيِ أَوْطَاسٍ وَلَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَقَعَ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَلَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ فَسَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ { وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنْ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ } قَالَ فَاسْتَحْلَلْنَا بِهَا فُرُوجَهُنَّ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Uthman al-Batti, from Abu al-Khalil, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, he said: "We took captive women from the captives of Awtas who had husbands, and we disliked having relations with them while they had husbands, so we asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about it, and this verse was revealed: 'And [also forbidden are] married women, except those whom your right hands possess.' So we deemed their private parts lawful for us by it."
