Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Husain that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced on the day of the conquest of Makkah: Beware! The one who turns his back and flees will not be killed, and the wounded will not be killed, and whoever has closed the door of his house is safe.

Hazrat Ja'far narrates from his father that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of Basra ordered the announcer to proclaim: Beware! Do not pursue those who flee, do not kill the wounded, do not kill the captives, and whoever has closed the door of his house is safe, and whoever has laid down his weapon is also safe, and their belongings will not be looted.

Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was present at the Battle of Siffin; the wounded were not being killed, those who fled were not being pursued, and the belongings of the slain were not being seized.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Sirin that on the day of Yamama, Hazrat Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) was searching for the wounded. Whenever he saw someone whose blood was flowing, Zubair would attack the assailant.

Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, women were attacking the wounded.
