في الأمان ما هو وكيف هو؟
Safe conduct: what is it and how is it given?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35639 — Safe conduct: what is it and how
٣٥٦٣٩ - (حدثنا وكيع) (١) حدثنا الأعمش عن أبي وائل قال: أتانا كتاب عمر ونحن (بخانقين) (٢) إذا قال الرجل للرجل: لا (تدهل) (٣)؛ فقد أمنه، وإذا قال: لا تخف فقد أمنه، وإذا قال: مطرس فقد أمنه، قال: اللَّه يعلم (الألسنة) (٤) (٥).
Abu Wa'il said: When we were at Khaniqin, a letter from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us. In it was: When a man says to someone 'la tadhal' (do not fear), he has given him safe conduct; and if he says 'la takhaf', he has likewise given him safe conduct; and if he says 'matars', he has given him safe conduct. Indeed, Allah Almighty knows all languages.
