Bayhaqi 16746 — When rebels retreat, those who flee are not pursued

فِيمَا أَجَازَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ رِوَايَتَهُ عَنْهُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ، أَنْبَأَ الشَّافِعِيُّ، وَأَظُنُّهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَكْرَمَ غَلَبَةً مِنْ أَبِيكَ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ وَلَّيْنَا يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ فَنَادَى مُنَادِيهِ: لَا يُقْتَلُ مُدْبِرٌ، وَلَا يُذْفَّفُ عَلَى جَرِيحٍ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: ذَكَرْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لِلدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ فَقَالَ: مَا أَحْفَظُهُ تَعْجَبُ لِحِفْظِهِ، هَكَذَا ذَكَرَهُ جَعْفَرٌ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، قَالَ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لَا يَأْخُذُ سَلْبًا، وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُبَاشِرُ الْقِتَالَ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُذَفِّفُ عَلَى جَرِيحٍ، وَلَا يَقْتُلُ مُدْبِرًا.
Ali bin Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I came to Marwan bin al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: I have not seen anyone more noble in victory than your father (may Allah be pleased with him), (as shown by) what he did on the day of the Camel: he had it announced that no one fleeing was to be pursued and no wounded man was to be killed.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned this hadith to al-Darawardi, and he said: How well he has preserved it! — marvelling at his memory. This is how Ja'far narrated it with this chain. Al-Darawardi said: Ja'far informed us from his father that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used not to take the spoils (salab) of the slain, that he took part in the fighting himself, and that he would not finish off a wounded man nor kill one who fled.
