Sunan Abi Dawud 2763 (Book 15, Hadith 287) #23053
Security Given by the Prophet ﷺ

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ gave security to those who were given protection by Umm Hani daughter of Abu Talib.

Ibn 'Abbas said "Umm Hani daughter of Abu Talib told me that in the year of the conquest she gave protection to a man from the polytheists. She came to the Prophet and mentioned it to him. He said "We have given security to those to whom you have given it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّهَا أَجَارَتْ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ وَأَمَّنَّا مَنْ أَمَّنْتِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving and keeping one's word. Umm Hani daughter of Abu Talib gave protection to a man from the polytheists, and when she came to the Prophet he confirmed that they would be kept safe. This shows us that it is important to keep our promises, even if we make them with non-Muslims, as this was done in accordance with Islamic teachings. It also teaches us that we should not break our promises or agreements once they have been made, as this is considered a form of dishonesty and betrayal which are not acceptable in Islam. Furthermore, it shows us that even if someone else has made a promise on our behalf, we should still honour it and ensure its fulfilment.
