Concubines are those whom the right hand possesses. Allah made them lawful for His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and for his nation without a marriage contract. What is meant by this is the spoils of war taken by way of lawful conquest and dominance. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, possessed Safiyyah and Juwayriyyah, then he freed them and married them. He also possessed Rayhanah and Mariyah, and they were among the concubines.
