Zayd ibn Harithah was the freed slave and the adopted son of Muhammad. He led a platoon Muhammad sent to Al Jumum, the home of Banu Salim, in the same year. A group of non-Muslims were captured.^[3][4] A woman from Banu Muzaina was also captured, and she showed them the way to the enemy's camp, where the Muslims took captives and seized a large amount of booty. Later Muhammad freed the woman and married her to one of his followers.^[1]
