وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ
عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَامِلٍ مِنْ عُمَّالِهِ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَنَا : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً، يَقُولُ لَهُمْ :
" اغْزُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تُقَاتِلُونَ مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ، لَا تَغُلُّوا، وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا، وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا " ، وَقُلْ ذَلِكَ لِجُيُوشِكَ، وَسَرَايَاكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote to one of his governors from among the governors that it reached us from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that when he would dispatch an army, he would say to them: "Fight in the name of Allah, in the way of Allah. You fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not steal, do not break agreements, do not cut ears or noses, do not kill children and women, and convey this command to your armies and troops. If Allah wills. And peace be upon you."
