Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35490 — Those who did not kill a captive
٣٥٤٩٠ - حدثنا غندر عن شعبة عن (خليد) (١) بن جعفر عن الحسن أن الحجاج أتي بأسير فقال لعبد اللَّه بن عمر: قم فاقتله، فقال ابن عمر: (ما بهذا) (٢) أمرنا، يقول اللَّه: ﴿حَتَّى إِذَا أَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاءً﴾ (٣) [محمد: ٤].
It is narrated from al-Hasan that a captive was brought to al-Hajjaj. Al-Hajjaj said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Stand up and kill him." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "We have not been commanded to do this. Allah Almighty says: 'Until, when you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly; then either a favour afterwards or a ransom.' [Muhammad: 4]"
