It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man captured a woman and took her as a prisoner. The woman resisted him by grabbing the hilt of his sword (trying to snatch his sword), so the man killed her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by there and was informed of the whole matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the killing of women.
