A raiding party that goes out without the imam's permission

Ibn Awn said: I wrote to Nafi' asking him: What of a man in a detachment who charges without the permission of his commander? He wrote back in reply: The permission of his commander does not change it for him.

Hisham bin Hassan said: When two armies face each other (advancing), it is not permitted for a man to charge without the permission of the commander.

Al-Hasan said: No one should set out in a detachment except with the permission of its commander, and they are entitled to whatever extra share he awards them.
