The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Why did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) return Abu Jundal?
The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah, why? He returned him because of the covenant between them. He returned him in fulfillment of the covenant between them. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks in the rest of his question: Was Abu Jundal a Muslim or a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah, I bear witness to this question. Abu Jundal came as a Muslim. He came as a Muslim. After the agreement was concluded, he came as a Muslim. Then Suhayl ibn 'Amr said, "He is my son, Abu Jundal, the son of Suhayl ibn 'Amr." Suhayl ibn 'Amr said, "This is the first thing we negotiate with you for: his return." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned him. Yes.
