In Sharh as-sunna it is related that the Prophet (ﷺ) restored a number of women to their husbands by the first marriage when they had both accepted Islam after the change of religion and dwelling. Among them was the daughter of al-Walid b. Mughira, the wife of Safwan b. Umayya. She accepted Islam on the day of the Conquest, but her husband fled from Islam. Then his cousin Wahb b. ‘Umair was sent to him with Allah's Messenger ﷺ’s cloak as a guarantee of security to Safwan, and when he came Allah's Messenger ﷺ granted him a respite of four months before accepting Islam, so she stayed with him. Umm Hakim daughter of al-Harith b. Hisham, the wife of Ikrima b. Abu Jahl, accepted Islam in Mecca on the day of the Conquest, but her husband fled from Islam and went to the Yemen. Umm Hakim journeyed and came to him in the Yemen, and when she invited him to accept Islam he did so, and they remained married. Malik transmitted it in mursal form on the authority of Ibn Shihab.
وَرُوِيَ فِي «شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ» : أَنَّ جَمَاعَةً مِنَ النِّسَاءِ رَدَّهُنَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنِّكَاحِ الأول على أَزوَاجهنَّ عِنْد اجْتِمَاع الإسلاميين بَعْدَ اخْتِلَافِ الدِّينِ وَالدَّارِ مِنْهُنَّ بِنْتُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُغِيرَةَ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ فَأَسْلَمَتْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ وَهَرَبَ زَوْجُهَا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَبعث النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ وَهْبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ بِرِدَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَانًا لِصَفْوَانَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ جَعَلَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْيِيرَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ فَاسْتَقَرَّتْ عِنْدَهُ وَأَسْلَمَتْ أَمُّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ امْرَأَةُ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ بِمَكَّةَ وَهَرَبَ زَوْجُهَا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْيَمَنَ فَارْتَحَلَتْ أَمُّ حَكِيمٍ حَتَّى قَدِمَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْيَمَنَ فَدَعَتْهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ فَثَبَتَا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا. رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شهَاب مُرْسلا
