Bayhaqi 17883 — Which of the polytheists are to be fought first

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْفَارِسِيُّ، قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَخْضَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ قَبْلَ الْقِتَالِ، قَالَ: " فَكَتَبَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، قَدْ أَغَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَسَبَى سَبْيَهُمْ، وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ. حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ نُبَيْحٍ يَجْمَعُ لَهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ ابْنَ أُنَيْسٍ فَقَتَلَهُ وَقُرْبَهُ عَدُوٌّ أَقْرَبُ مِنْهُ ".
Ibn Awn says: I wrote to Nafi' asking him what the ruling is on the call (inviting to Islam) before fighting. He wrote back: That was only at the beginning of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) launched a raid on Banu al-Mustaliq while they were unaware and their livestock were being watered at the water; the men fit for fighting were killed and the children were taken captive. On that day he obtained (I think he said) Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith to me, and he was in that army.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When news came that Khalid bin Sufyan bin Nubayh was gathering an army, Ibn Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) was sent towards him. He killed him, even though there were enemies near him as well.
