He said: "Then ask me whatever you want." They said: Tell us about four things that we are going to ask you about: tell us about the food that Isra'eel forbade to himself before the Torah was revealed, tell us how the woman's water and the man's water are and how the male can come from it, tell us how this unlettered Prophet (ﷺ) is when he sleeps, and tell who his companion among the angels is. He said: "You are bound by the promise and covenant of Allah, that if I tell you, you will follow me.” And they gave him the promise and covenant he wanted. He said: “I adjure you by the One Who revealed the Torah to Moosa (عليه السلام), do you know that Isra'eel Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) became very sick and his sickness lasted for a long time, then he made a vow to Allah that if Allah healed him from his sickness, he would forbid to himself the dearest of drinks and food to himself, the dearest of food to him was camel meat and the dearest of drinks was camel's milk?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the water of the man is white and thick, and the water of the woman is yellow and thin, and whichever of them prevails, the child will resemble him or her; if the man's water prevails over the woman's the child will be male by Allah's leave, and if the woman's water prevails over the man's, the child will be female by Allah's leave?” They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the eyes of this unlettered Prophet sleep, but his heart does not sleep?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them.” They said: Now tellus; who is your companion among the angels? For this is what will decide whether we join you or keep away from you." He said: "My companion is Jibreel (عليه السلام); Allah never sent any Prophet but he was his helper." They said: in that case we will keep away from you; if your helper was anyone else among the angels, we would have followed you and believed you. He said: “What is keeping you from believing him?” They said: He is our enemy. At that point Allah said: “Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ)); Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission - up to - the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!" (al-Baqarah 2:97-101). At that point, “So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath" (al-Baqarah 2:90).

During these military campaigns I acquire slaves as part of my booty and I set them free on behalf of my mother; will it be valid for her if I do that?
