Kinanah denied knowing where it was. Then, a Jew came to the Prophet and said that he had seen Kinanah lurking near a certain place. So the Prophet said to Kinanah: &#8220;Do you know that if we find the treasure in that place, I will kill you?&#8221; Kinanah said yes. Then, the Prophet ordered the place to be excavated, and the treasure was found. <strong>Then the Prophet ordered Kinanah <em>to be tortured to reveal the whereabouts of other hidden goods.

The religious basis for this institution in these places is as follows. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 4:3:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;If you fear that you will not be just with the orphans, then marry those women who please you: two, three, or four. But if you fear that you will not be equitable, then only one, <strong>or those your right hands possess (slave-women)<\/strong>.&#8221; <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 4:25:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;And whoever among you cannot afford to marry free, believing women, <strong>let him marry from among your believing slave-women<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 70:29-30:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;And those who guard their chastity, except with their wives or <strong>those their right hands possess (slave-women)<\/strong>, for indeed, they are not to be blamed.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 24:32:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Marry the unmarried among you and the righteous <strong>among your male and female slaves<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be fair, it should be noted that Muhammad was more benevolent in his treatment than the standards of the time, even advising the liberation of slaves.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hadith not only support slavery but even recount that Muhammad owned slaves, such as Sahih Bukhari 4:52:256, Sahih Bukhari 5:59:512, or Sahih Muslim 8:3327.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;
