Anas told that eighty Meccans came down armed from the mountain of at-Tan‘im against Allah's Messenger ﷺ intending to take him and his companions unawares, but he took them captive without fighting and spared them. A version says he set them free and Allah most high sent down, “He it is who averted their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Mecca” (Al-Qur’an; 48
24). Muslim transmitted it.وَعَن أنسٍ: أَنَّ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ هَبَطُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ التَّنْعِيمِ مُتَسَلِّحِينَ يُرِيدُونَ غِرَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَأَخَذَهُمْ سِلْمًا فَاسْتَحْيَاهُمْ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى (وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ ببطنِ مكةَ) رَوَاهُ مُسلم
