It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm that he was told about Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: While I was preparing to go to my father, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Hind bint Utbah bin Rabi'ah met me and said: "O daughter of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Has it not reached me that you intend to go to your father?" I said: "I have no such intention." She said: "O cousin! Do not do so. If you need any provisions for the journey that would be of use to you and by which you could reach your father, I have them (and will give them to you)." Sayyidah Zaynab says: "By Allah! I think she said this sincerely, only to help; but I was afraid of her, so I denied having any such intention." Then, when I had prepared my belongings, my brother-in-law Kinanah bin al-Rabi' (my husband's brother) came. He brought a camel for me, which I mounted; he took up his bow and quiver and set off with me, seated in a howdah, in broad daylight. This became the talk among the men of Quraysh, so they set out in pursuit and caught up with her at Dhu Tuwa. The first to reach there were Habbar bin al-Aswad and Nafi' bin Abd Qays al-Fihri. Habbar frightened the lady in the howdah with his spear. She was pregnant, and because of this fright she miscarried. Her brother-in-law got down from the camel, spread out his quiver and said: "Whoever comes near me, I will shoot him with an arrow." So the people drew back. Then Abu Sufyan came with the notables of Quraysh and said: "O man! Hold back your arrows from us so that we may speak to you." So he held back. Abu Sufyan came close and said: "You have not taken the right course. You are taking this woman out openly in front of everyone, while you know of our recent calamity and shock (the Battle of Badr), and you also know what harm has come to us because of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Now if you take his daughter away publicly like this from our midst, people will think that it is because of our humiliation and weakness. We have no need to keep her from her father, but take this woman back for now; when the clamour dies down and people have finished saying that we brought her back, then quietly take her out and deliver her to her father." So he did so. A few nights later, when the talk had died down, he set out with her by night and handed her over to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companion, who brought her to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a hadith in which there is irsal (a break in the chain) between Abdullah bin Abi Bakr and Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her); were it not for that, I would have judged it sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim. However, a shortened version of it has been narrated with a sahih chain on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim).
