Hadith 4019
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin `Adi bin Al-Khiyar: That Al-Miqdad bin `Amr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and one of those who fought the battle of Badr together with Allah's Apostle told him that he said to Allah's Apostle, "Suppose I met one of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with his sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, "I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill him, O Allah's Apostle, after he had said this?" Allah's Apostle said, "You should not kill him." Al- Miqdad said, "O Allah's Apostle! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words?" Allah's Apostle replied, "You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been before uttering those words."

الزُّهْرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ
عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ
الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْكِنْدِيَّ حَلِيفَ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، وَكَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لَقِيتُ كَافِرًا فَاقْتَتَلْنَا ، فَضَرَبَ يَدِي بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَهَا ، ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ ، وَقَالَ : أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ ، أَأَقْتُلُهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا تَقْتُلْهُ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّهُ طَرَحَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا قَطَعَهَا ، أَأَقْتُلُهُ ؟ قَالَ : لَا تَقْتُلْهُ ، فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ ، وَأَنْتَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ " .
Narrated Al-Miqdad bin `Amr Al-Kindi: An ally of Bani Zuhra who took part in the battle of Badr with the Prophet, that he said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I meet an unbeliever and we have a fight, and he strikes my hand with the sword and cuts it off, and then takes refuge from me under a tree, and says, 'I have surrendered to Allah (i.e. embraced Islam),' may I kill him after he has said so?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do not kill him." Al- Miqdad said, "But O Allah's Apostle! He had chopped off one of my hands and he said that after he had cut it off. May I kill him?" The Prophet said. "Do not kill him for if you kill him, he would be in the position in which you had been before you kill him, and you would be in the position in which he was before he said the sentence."
