Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35637 — Safe conduct: what is it and how
٣٥٦٣٧ - حدثنا ريحان بن سعيد قال: حدثني مرزوق بن عمرو قال: حدثني أبو فرقد قال: كنا مع أبي موسى الأشعري يوم فتحنا سوق الأهواز، فسعى رجل من المشركين وسعيا رجلان من المسلمين خلفه، فبينما هو يسعى ويسعيان إذ قال له أحدهما: مترس، (فقام الرجل) (١) فأخذاه (فجاءا) (٢) به وأبو موسى يضرب أعناق ⦗٤٥٣⦘ الأسارى حتى انتهى (الأمر) (٣) إلى الرجل فقال أحدهما: إن هذا قد جعل له الأمان، فقال أبو موسى: وكيف جعل له الأمان؟ قال: إنه كان يسعى ذاهبًا في الأرض فقلت له: مترس فقام، فقال أبو موسى: وما مترس؟ قال: لا (تخاف) (٤)، قال: هذا أمان خليا سبيله، فخليا سبيل الرجل (٥).
Abu Farqad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When we conquered Suq al-Ahwaz, I was with Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). A man from the polytheists fled, and two men from the Muslims ran after him. While they were running, one of them said to that polytheist: Matars (safe conduct). On hearing this the man stood still. They seized him and brought him to Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was having the captives executed. When this man's turn came, one of the two said: He has safe conduct. Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: How did he get safe conduct? He said: He was running away, and I said matars to him, and he stood still. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What does matars mean? He said: It means do not fear. He said: This is safe conduct; let him go. Then we let him go.
