Treatment towards the captives

When the captives from Badr were brought to Madinah, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) paired them and placed them in the care of the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them). He commanded the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) to keep them comfortable. They fed the captives with food whilst they themselves sufficed on dates. It was decided that these captives would be ransomed. They were set free after a payment of four thousand dirhams for each captive.
