Ayyub narrates: I heard a man from among our people transmitting this from his father; he says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a military expedition in which I too was present, and in it he forbade us to kill hired labourers (or the very aged) and slaves.
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator whose name has not been mentioned.
