Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar bin Makhrama:(from the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) When Suhail bin `Amr agreed to the Treaty (of Hudaibiya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the Prophet (ﷺ) should return to them (i.e. the pagans) anyone coming to him from their side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between them and that person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet (ﷺ) agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jandal to his father Suhail bin `Amr. Thenceforward the Prophet (ﷺ) returned everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kulthum bint `Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was a young lady then. Her relative came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him to return her, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not return her to them for Allah had revealed the following Verse regarding women: "O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (60.10)

Sahih
It is related from Marwan and al-Miswar ibn Makhrama from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, "When Suhayl ibn 'Amr wrote the document on that day, one of the preconditions which Suhayl ibn 'Amr stipulated from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was: "If anyone comes to you, even if he has your deen, you will return him to us and not come between us and him.' The believers disliked that and resented it. Suhayl refused to accept anything but that, so the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wrote it with him on that basis. On that day he returned Abu Jandal to his father, Suhayl ibn 'Amr. Any man who came to him he returned in that period, even if he was a Muslim. Believing women came as emigrants, and Umm Kulthum bint 'Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt was one of those who came to them on that day.She was a young girl. Her people came to ask the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to return her to them, but he did not return her to them since Allah had revealed about them, 'When believing women come to you as emigrants, submit them to a test. Allah has best knowledge of their faith. If you know they are believers, do not return them to the rejectors.They are not lawful for the rejectors nor are the rejectors lawful for them.' (60:10)" It is reported from 'A'isha that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to examine them by this ayat, "O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, submit them to a test. ... to ...Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (60:10-12) 'A'isha said, "Whoever of them acknowledged this precondition, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would say to her, 'I have taken a contract of allegiance from you.' These are the words he used to say and, by Allah, he never touched the hand of a woman in the contract of allegiance, and he only made the contract of allegiance with them by his words."
