Bayhaqi 17836 — A Muslim should avoid killing his father in battle

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَقِيتُ الْعَدُوَّ وَلَقِيتُ أَبِي فِيهِمْ فَسَمِعْتُ لَكَ مِنْهُ مَقَالَةً قَبِيحَةً، فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى ⦗٤٧⦘ طَعَنْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ أَوْ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ. فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي لَقِيتُ أَبِي فَتَرَكْتُهُ وَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَلِيَهُ غَيْرِي، فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ ". وَهَذَا مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ.
Malik bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), who had lived through the Jahiliyyah, said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I met the enemy, and my father was among them. I heard him say something vile about you, and I could not restrain myself; I struck him with a spear, and as a result he was killed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent about it. Then another man came and said: I met my father and left him, and I wanted someone other than me to deal with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent again.
This is a good mursal report.
