Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab that he had heard that in the
time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, women were becoming muslim in their own lands and they did not
do hijra while their husbands were still kafirun although they
themselves had become muslim. Among them was the daughter of al-Walid
ibn al-Mughira and she was the wife of Safwan ibn Umayya. She became
muslim on the day of the conquest (of Makka), and her husband, Safwan
ibn Umayya fled from Islam. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, sent Safwan's paternal cousin, Wahb ibn Umayr
with the cloak of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, as a safe-conduct for Safwan ibn Umayya, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called
him to Islam and asked for him to come to him and if he was pleased
with the matter to accept it. If not he would have a respite for two
months.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umm Hakim
bint al-Harith ibn Hisham who was the wife of Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl
became muslim on the day of the conquest of Makka, and her husband
Ikrima fled from Islam as far as the Yemen. Umm Hakim set out after
him until she came to him in the Yemen and she called him to Islam,
and he became muslim. He went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, in the year of the conquest. When the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw him,
he rushed to him in joy and did not bother to put on his cloak until
he had made the pledge with him. They were confirmed in their
marriage.
