A woman from the household who is unknown, and her status is not known... and Allah knows best (10).

وَقَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : ( غَزَا نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ : لَا يَتْبَعَنِّي رَجُلٌ قَدْ مَلَكَ بُضْعَ امْرَأَةٍ ، وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بِهَا وَلَمَّا يَبْنِ ، وَلَا آخَرُ قَدْ بَنَى بُنْيَانًا وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ سَقْفَهَا ، وَلَا آخَرُ قَدِ اشْتَرَى غَنَمًا أَوْ خَلِفَاتٍ (١١) وَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ أَوْلَادَهَا

Imam Ahmad said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from Hammam, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'A prophet from among the prophets went on a military expedition and said to his people: Let no man follow me who has married a woman and intends to consummate the marriage but has not yet done so, nor another who has built a structure but has not raised its roof, nor another who has bought sheep or pregnant camels (11) and is waiting for their offspring.'

قَالَ : فَغَزَا فَدَنَا مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ حِينَ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لِلشَّمْسِ : أَنْتِ مَأْمُورَةٌ وَأَنَا مَأْمُورٌ ، اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْهَا عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا ، فَحُبِسَتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَمَعُوا مَا غَنِمُوا ، فَأَتَتِ النَّارُ لِتَأْكُلَهُ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَطْعَمَهُ ، فَقَالَ : فِيكُمْ غُلُولٌ ، فَلْيُبَايِعْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ رَجُلٌ ، فَبَايَعُوهُ فَلَصِقَتْ يَدُ رَجُلٍ بِيَدِهِ ، فَقَالَ : فِيكُمُ الْغُلُولُ فَلْيُبَايِعْنِي قَبِيلَتُكَ ، فَبَايَعَتْهُ قَبِيلَتُهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَصِقَتْ بِيَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ ـ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ ـ فَقَالَ : فِيكُمُ الْغُلُولُ .. أَنْتُمْ غَلَلْتُمْ

He said: So he went on the expedition and approached the village at the time of the Asr prayer, or close to it, and he said to the sun: 'You are commanded and I am commanded; O Allah, hold it back for me for a while.' So it was held back for him until Allah granted him victory. He said: They gathered what they had taken as spoils, and the fire came to consume it, but it refused to eat it. He said: 'Among you is treachery (ghulul); let one man from every tribe pledge allegiance to me.' They pledged allegiance to him, and the hand of one man stuck to his hand. He said: 'The treachery is among you; let your tribe pledge allegiance to me.' His tribe pledged allegiance to him, and he said: 'It stuck to the hands of two or three men.' He said: 'The treachery is among you... you have committed treachery.'
