==Birth==

In the Battle of Badr, Abu l-'As attended the army of [[polytheist]]s, and was captivated by Muslims. When people of [[Medina]] asked for ransoms in order to release the captives, Zaynab sent the necklace she had received from Khadija for her marriage. When the Prophet (s) saw the necklace, he was emotionally touched, and with the agreement of Muslims, he released Abu l-'As and returned Zaynab's properties, and asked Abu l-'As to set Zaynab free. When Abu l-'As went back to [[Mecca]], he sent Zaynab, together with some of the Prophet (s)'s companions, to [[Medina]].
