Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1431 — whenever the Prophet ﷺ sent out an army
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ الرَّافِقِيُّ قَالَ : نَا الْأَحْوَصُ بْنُ جَوَّابٍ قَالَ : نَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ . عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- إِذَا بَعَثَ جَيْشًا أَوْ سَرِيَّةً دَعَا صَاحِبَهُمْ ، فَأَمَرَهُ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا ، ثُمَّ ، قَالَ : اغْزُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللهِ ، لَا تَغُلُّوا ، وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا ، وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا ، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا وَلَا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا ، وَإِذَا أَتَيْتُمْ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ ، فَلَا تُعْطُوهُمْ ذِمَّةَ اللهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ أَعْطُوهُمْ ذِمَمَكُمْ وَذِمَمَ آبَائِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ تُخْفِرُوا ذِمَّتَكُمْ وَذِمَّةَ آبَائِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تُخْفِرُوا ذِمَّةَ اللهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ ، وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتُمْ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ فَلَا تُنْزِلُوهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَحُكْمِ رَسُولِهِ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَتُصِيبُونَ فِيهِمْ حُكْمَ اللهِ أَمْ لَا ، وَلَكِنْ أَنْزِلُوهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِكُمْ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ إِلَّا الْأَحْوَصُ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army or a detachment, he would call their commander and instruct him to fear Allah and to treat the Muslims with him well. Then he would say: "Fight in the name of Allah and in the path of Allah; fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not embezzle, do not break pledges, do not mutilate (the enemy), and do not kill any child or old man.
And when you come to the people of a fortress or a town, do not give them the protection (pledge of safety) of Allah and His Messenger; rather, give them your own protection and that of your forefathers, for your breaking your own pledge and that of your forefathers is better (a lesser sin) than your breaking the pledge of Allah and His Messenger.
And when you besiege the people of a fortress or a town, do not let them surrender on the judgement of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and the judgement of His Messenger, for you do not know whether you will hit upon Allah's judgement concerning them or not; rather, let them surrender on your own judgement."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ammar (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Ahwas (may Allah have mercy on him)."
