خريم بن أوس الطائي

Khurayim ibn Aws ibn Haritha ibn Lam al-Ta'i. Al-Baladhuri relates that he said to the Prophet: "If God gives you victory over al-Hira, give me the daughter of Buqayla." ¹

When Khalid made peace with the people of al-Hira, Khurayim reminded him of this, and Bashir ibn Sa'd and Muhammad ibn Maslama, the two Ansari men, testified for him. Khalid exempted her from the peace and handed her over to him. Her people bought her back from him for a thousand dirhams, and she was an old woman. He was told: "You have undervalued her." He said: "I did not think that any number could be more than a thousand." Another report says that the questioner was a man of Rabi'a, but the first is more firmly established in al-Baladhuri. ¹
