Khadija’s necklace
One of the captives captured during the Battle of Badr was Abu’l As, that is, the son-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh), his daughter Zaynab’s husband. Hazrat Zeynep sent Hazrat Khadija’s necklace, which she had given her when she got married, as a ransom for her husband.
When Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) saw the necklace of Khadija, who had died years ago, among the ransoms sent from Makkah, he started to cry and said to his friends,
"If you agree I want to return this necklace to Zaynab and release Abu’l As."His friends became aware of the sensitivity of the situation and said,
"Yes, of course, O Messenger of Allah! As you wish.”
Thus, the necklace of Khadija remained with Zaynab.
