The hadith about the judgment of Hazrat Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him) is also narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) through this second chain, except that in it he said, "I judge that their fighting men be killed and their children be taken as captives." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have judged regarding them according to the judgment of Allah."
