Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35488 — Those who did not kill a captive
٣٥٤٨٨ - حدثنا شريك عن محمد بن إسحاق عن أبي جعفر قال: كان علي إذا أتي بأسير يوم صفين أخذ (دابته) (١) وأخذ سلاحه وأخذ عليه أن لا يعود وخلى سبيله (٢).
It is narrated from Abu Ja'far that on the day of Siffin, whenever a captive was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he would confiscate his weapons and his mount, take a pledge from him not to fight again, and set him free.
