Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the following command regarding the slave women captured in the Battle of Autas: Do not have intercourse with a pregnant woman until she gives birth, and do not have intercourse with a woman who is not pregnant until she has completed one menstrual cycle.

Abdullah bin Buraidah narrates, he says: My father Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me, he says: I had intense hatred for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), more than for anyone else, to the extent that I had great love for a man from the Quraysh only because he harbored hatred for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). That man was appointed as the commander of the army, and I accompanied him only because he hated Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). We obtained slave girls, and the commander of the army sent a message to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to send us someone who would divide the spoils of war into five parts and distribute them. You sent Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to us, and he divided the wealth and distributed it. Among the captive women was a slave girl who was the best among all the captives. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) divided the spoils of war into five parts and then distributed them. When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came out, drops of water were falling from his head and his head was covered. We said: O Abu Hasan! What is this matter? He said: Did you not see that this slave girl came into my share among the captives? I divided the spoils of war into five parts and distributed them. She came in the fifth part, which is for the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family, and then among the family, a portion is for the family of Ali, and this slave girl came into my share from that, and I had intercourse with her. The man who hated Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said to him: Send me with this letter. He sent me so that I could confirm and support what was written in the letter. Sayyiduna Buraidah says: I began to read the letter to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Whatever is written in it is true. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) took the letter from my hand and took my hand and said: Do you harbor hatred for Ali? I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not hate Ali, and if you love him, then increase in that love. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the share of the family of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the fifth is better than even this best slave girl. Sayyiduna Buraidah says: After the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), there was no one among the people more beloved to me than him. Abdullah bin Buraidah says: By Allah, besides whom there is no deity! Between me and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in narrating this hadith, there is only my father, Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him).
