898 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ بَعَثَ فُلَانًا - سَمَّاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ - إِلَي ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ نَهَاهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ»
The son of Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his uncle that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a certain companion (whose name was mentioned by Zuhri, but Sufyan, the narrator, forgot it) to Ibn Haqiq, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from killing women and children.
