حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُوحٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ فَأَخَذَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفِدَاءَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ سورة الأنفال آية 67 ـ 68 مِنَ الْفِدَاءِ، ثُمَّ أَحَلَّ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْغَنَائِمَ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ يُسْأَلُ عَنِ اسْمِ أَبِي نُوحٍ فَقَالَ: إِيشْ تَصْنَعُ بِاسْمِهِ اسْمُهُ اسْمٌ شَنِيعٌ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: اسْمُ أَبِي نُوحٍ قُرَادٌ، وَالصَّحِيحُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ.

Regarding Ransoming Captives With Wealth
“During the battle of Badr, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم took ransom”. Thereupon Allah Most High sent down “It is not fitting for an Messenger that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. You look on the temporal goods of this world, but Allah look to the Hereafter”. And Allah is exalted in might and Wise. Had it not been for a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe penalty would have reached you for the (ransom) that you took. Allah then made the spoils of war lawful. Abu Dawud said “I heard that Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about the name of Abu Nuh”. He said “What will you do with his name? His name is a bad one. Abu Dawud said “the name of Abu Nuh is Qurad. What is correct is that his name is Abd Al Rahman bin Ghazwan.
