عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ تِعْلِي قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَأُتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَعْلَاجٍ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَقُتِلُوا صَبْرًا بِالنَّبْلِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الصَّبْرِ
Ubaid bin Ti'li says: We fought a battle with Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid. When four non-Arab enemies were brought to him, he ordered that they be tied up and killed with arrows. When this news reached Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing by tying up.
