Hadith 35333
٣٥٣٣٣ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن يحيى بن سعيد قال: حدثت أن أبا بكر بعث جيوشا إلى الشام فخرج يتبع يزيد بن أبي سفيان فقال: إني أوصيك بعشر: لا تقتلن صبيا ولا أمرأة ولا كبيرا هرما، ولا تقطعن شجرا مثمرا، ولا (تخربن) (١) عامرا ولا (تعقن) (٢) شاة ولا (بقرة) (٣) (إلا) (٤) (لمأكلة) (٥)، ولا تغرقن نخلا ولا (تحرقنه) (٦) ولا (تغل) (٧) ولا تجبن (٨).
Hazrat Yahya bin Saeed (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that it was conveyed to me that Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent armies towards Syria. He (may Allah be pleased with him) set out and was walking behind Yazid bin Abu Sufyan. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Surely, I advise you with ten things: Never kill children, neither children nor women nor very old women, and do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. And never destroy inhabited land. And never slaughter goats or cows except for eating. And never cut down a date-palm tree from the top nor burn it, and do not commit treachery, and do not show cowardice.
