Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35371 — Seeking help from polytheists: those

Sayyiduna Khubayb (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out intending battle, so I and a man from my people came to him (peace and blessings be upon him). We said: We feel ashamed that our people should be present on the battlefield while we do not take part with them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Have the two of you accepted Islam?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We do not seek the help of polytheists against polytheists." The narrator said: So the two of us accepted Islam, and we took part with him (peace and blessings be upon him).
