conquered

The

>>>>> to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and

>>>>> 'Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added:

>>>>>   Thabit asked Anas, "O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as

>>>>> A Muslim may argue that Muhammad used his wealth to help those in

>>>>> that he himself didn't live lavishly. This is beside the point,

>>>>> though the Quran says that prophets are to receive no wages or

>>>>> the people!
>>>>>

>>>>>
>>>>> If it is questionable when an alleged messenger of God demands

more
