Bayhaqi 18026 — What is done with the adult men among them

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ، ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ بِالْأُسَارَى حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِعِرْقِ الظُّبْيَةِ أَمَرَ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَقْلَحِ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ عُنُقَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَجَعَلَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ يَقُولُ: يَا وَيْلَاهُ، عَلَامَ أُقْتَلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بِعَدَاوَتِكَ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ". فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنُّكَ أَفْضَلُ، فَاجْعَلْنِي كَرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِي إِنْ قَتَلْتَهُمْ قَتَلْتَنِي، وَإِنْ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ، وَإِنْ أَخَذْتَ مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ كُنْتُ كَأَحَدِهِمْ، يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ لِلصِّبْيَةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " النَّارُ، يَا عَاصِمُ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، قَدِّمْهُ فَاضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ ". فَقَدَّمَهُ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ ".
Muhammad bin Yahya bin Sahl bin Abi Hathmah narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), that when the captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at a place called Irq al-Zubyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Asim bin Thabit bin Abi al-Aqlah (may Allah be pleased with him) to strike off the neck of Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt. Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt said: Why am I being killed from among these? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because of your enmity towards Allah and His Messenger." Uqbah said: O Muhammad! Count me as one of the men of my people and treat me as you treat them: if you kill them, kill me; if you show favour to them, show favour to me; and if you take ransom from them, I will be like one of them. O Muhammad! Who will look after the children? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Fire is for them." "O Asim bin Thabit! Strike off his neck," so he beheaded him.
