حَدَّثَنَا جُبَيْرُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً ، قَالَ : اغْزُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ ، وَلا تَغُلُّوا ، وَلا تَغْدِرُوا ، وَلا تَجْبُنُوا ، وَلا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا ، وَلا امْرَأَةً ، وَلا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا ، وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتُمْ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ أَوْ حِصْنٍ فَلا تَعْطُوهُمْ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ أَعْطَوْهُمْ ذِمَمَكُمْ وَذِمَمَ آبَائِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ تَخْفِرُوا بِذِمَمِكُمْ وَذِمَمِ آبَائِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَخْفِرُوا بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَذِمَّةِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، إِلا وَكِيعٌ ، بِمِصْرَ
Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would send out an army, he would say: “Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not be treacherous, do not deceive, and do not be cowardly. Do not kill any child, nor any woman, nor any elderly person. And when you besiege a fortress or a town, do not give them the guarantee of Allah and His Messenger, but give them your own guarantee and the guarantee of your fathers, for if you violate your own guarantee or that of your fathers, it is better than violating the guarantee of Allah and His Messenger.”

Explanation: 1؎ :
That is, if the disbelievers and polytheists are willing to surrender themselves to the commander of the army unconditionally, without any specific stipulation or firm covenant, then that is preferable.
Otherwise, if they wish to negotiate with the commander only according to Allah’s command, then the commander should not do so,
because he does not know what Allah has decreed regarding them.
This hadith comprises some of the most reliable principles of jihad, which become clear with even a little reflection and contemplation.
It is far better to adopt the explicit texts present in the hadith absolutely, rather than engaging in debate and disputation.
