Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35213 — What they said on one who is captured

Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ata was asked about a man from the dhimmis who was captured in the land of the polytheists, and who said: "I had no intention of helping them against you," when they had stipulated on him that he would not go to them. He (may Allah have mercy on him) considered killing him disliked except with testimony. The narrator said: At that time some of the people of knowledge said to Ata (may Allah have mercy on him): "When he has broken a single thing of what was binding on him, the peace treaty is thereby broken."
